For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Denn ich werde alle Heiden wider Jerusalem sammeln zum Streit. Und die Stadt wird gewonnen, die Häuser geplündert und die Weiber geschändet werden; und die Hälfte der Stadt wird gefangen weggeführt werden, und das übrige Volk wird nicht aus der Stadt ausgerottet werden.
Porque yo reuniré todas las gentes en batalla contra Jerusalem; y la ciudad será tomada, y saqueadas serán las casas, y forzadas las mujeres: y la mitad de la ciudad irá en cautiverio, mas el resto del pueblo no será talado de la ciudad.
«Reuniré a todas las naciones para combatir contra Jerusalén. La ciudad será tomada, las casas saqueadas y las mujeres violadas. La mitad de la ciudad irá al destierro, pero el resto del pueblo no será eliminado de la ciudad».
Je rassemblerai toutes les nations pour qu'elles attaquent Jérusalem; La ville sera prise, les maisons seront pillées, et les femmes violées; La moitié de la ville ira en captivité, Mais le reste du peuple ne sera pas exterminé de la ville.
Ed io adunerò tutte le nazioni contro a Gerusalemme in battaglia, e la città sarà presa, e le case saranno predate, e le donne sforzate; e la metà della città andrà in cattività; ma il rimanente del popolo non sarà sterminato dalla città.
Porque eu ajuntarei todas as nações para a peleja contra Jerusalém; e a cidade será tomada, e as casas serão saqueadas, e as mulheres forçadas; e metade da cidade sairá para o cativeiro, mas o restante do povo não será extirpado da cidade.
我要招聚萬國與 耶路撒冷 爭戰;城必被攻取,房屋被搶奪,婦女被玷污,城中的一半被擄去;但其餘的百姓不會從城中被剪除。
