Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

Heulet ihr Tannen! denn die Zedern sind gefallen, und die Herrlichen sind verstört. Heulet, ihr Eichen Basans! denn der feste Wald ist umgehauen.
Aúlla, oh haya, porque el cedro cayó, porque los magníficos son talados. Aullad, alcornoques de Basán, porque el fuerte monte es derribado.
¡Lamenta, ciprés, porque ha caído el cedro, porque los árboles majestuosos han sido destruidos! ¡Lamenten, encinas de Basán, porque ha caído el bosque espeso!
Gémis, cyprès, car le cèdre est tombé, Ceux qui s'élevaient sont détruits! Gémissez, chênes de Basan, Car la forêt inaccessible est renversée!
Urlate, abeti; perciocchè i cedri son caduti, e gli alberi nobili sono stati guasti; urlate, querce di Basan; perciocchè la selva chiusa è stata abbattuta.
Geme, ó cipreste, porque o cedro caiu, porque os mais poderosos são destruídos; gemei, ó carvalhos de Basã, porque o bosque forte é derrubado.
哀號吧,松樹! 因為香柏樹傾倒了,高大的樹毀壞了。 哀號吧, 巴珊 的橡樹! 因為茂盛的樹林倒下來了。
