O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.

Fliehet, ihr Kinder Benjamin, aus Jerusalem und blaset die Drommete auf der Warte Thekoa und werft auf ein Panier über der Warte Beth-Cherem! denn es geht daher ein Unglück von Mitternacht und ein großer Jammer.
Huid, hijos de Benjamín, de en medio de Jerusalem, y tocad bocina en Tecoa, y alzad por señal humo sobre Beth-hacchêrem: porque del aquilón se ha visto mal, y quebrantamiento grande.
¡Busquen refugio, hijos de Benjamín, fuera de Jerusalén! Toquen la trompeta en Tecoa y alcen una señal sobre Bet-haquerem, porque desde el norte se asoma una calamidad y una gran destrucción.
Fuyez, enfants de Benjamin, du milieu de Jérusalem, Sonnez de la trompette à Tekoa, Elevez un signal à Beth-Hakkérem! Car on voit venir du septentrion le malheur Et un grand désastre.
Fuggite di forza, figliuoli di Beniamino, del mezzo di Gerusalemme; e sonate la tromba in Tecoa, ed alzate il segnale del fuoco sopra Bet-cherem; perciocchè una calamità, e gran ruina, è apparita dal Settentrione.
FUGI para salvação vossa, filhos de Benjamim, do meio de Jerusalém; e tocai a buzina em Tecoa, e levantai um sinal de fogo sobre Bete-Haquerém; porque do lado norte surge um mal e uma grande destruição.
便雅憫 人哪,當逃離 耶路撒冷 , 在 提哥亞 吹號角, 在 伯‧哈基琳 升信號, 因為有災禍與大毀滅從北方逼近。
