Laß die Haare abscheren und gehe kahl um deiner zarten Kinder willen; mache dich ganz kahl wie ein Adler, denn sie sind von dir gefangen weggeführt.
Mésate y trasquílate por los hijos de tus delicias: ensancha tu calva como águila; porque fueron trasportados de ti.
Rase-toi, coupe ta chevelure, A cause de tes enfants chéris! Rends-toi chauve comme l'aigle, Car ils s'en vont en captivité loin de toi!
Dipelati, e tosati, per li figliuoli delle tue delizie; allarga la tua calvezza, come un’aquila; perciocchè quelli sono stati menati via da te in cattività
Faze-te calva, e tosquia-te, por causa dos filhos das tuas delícias; alarga a tua calva como a águia, porque de ti foram levados cativos.
猶大 啊,為了你所喜愛的兒女, 你要剪髮,剃光頭, 要使你的頭光禿,如同禿鷹, 因為他們被擄去離開你了。
