| 1 | Oracle sur le désert de la mer. Comme s'avance l'ouragan du midi, Il vient du désert, du pays redoutable. | The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. | The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land. | Profezia contro il deserto del mare. Come i turbini passano velocemente, attraverso il Neghev, così un invasore viene dal deserto, da un paese spaventevole. |
| 2 | Une vision terrible m'a été révélée. L'oppresseur opprime, le dévastateur dévaste. -Monte, Élam ! Assiège, Médie ! Je fais cesser tous les soupirs. - | A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. | A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth.

Stringi d'assedio, o Media! Ho fatto cessare ogni suo gemito. |
| 3 | C'est pourquoi mes reins sont remplis d'angoisses ; Des douleurs me saisissent, Comme les douleurs d'une femme en travail ; Les spasmes m'empêchent d'entendre, Le tremblement m'empêche de voir. | Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it. | Therefore are my loins filled with anguish; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed so that I cannot see. | Per questo i miei lombi sono pieni di dolori; le doglie mi hanno colto, come le doglie di una donna partoriente; sono sconvolto per ciò che ho udito sono spaventato per ciò che ho visto. |
| 4 | Mon coeur est troublé, La terreur s'empare de moi ; La nuit de mes plaisirs devient une nuit d'épouvante. | My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. | My heart fluttereth, horror hath affrighted me; the twilight that I desired hath been turned into trembling unto me. | Il mio cuore è smarrito lo spavento mi ha preso; la notte che tanto desideravo è diventata per me uno spavento. |

Alzatevi, o capi e ungete gli scudi. |
| 6 | Car ainsi m'a parlé le Seigneur : Va, place la sentinelle ; Qu'elle annonce ce qu'elle verra. - | For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. | For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman: let him declare what he seeth: | Poiché così mi ha detto il Signore: Va metti una sentinella, che annunzi ciò che vede. |

| 8 | Puis elle s'écria, comme un lion : Seigneur, je me tiens sur la tour toute la journée, Et je suis à mon poste toutes les nuits ; | And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights: | And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watch-tower in the day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights; | Poi gridò come un leone: O Signore, di giorno io sto sempre sulla torre di vedetta, e tutte le notti sto in piedi al mio posto di guardia. |
| 9 | Et voici, il vient de la cavalerie, des cavaliers deux à deux ! Elle prit encore la parole, et dit : Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone, Et toutes les images de ses dieux sont brisées par terre ! - | And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. | and, behold, here cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground. | Ed ecco arrivare dei carri e delle coppie di cavalieri. Allora essa riprese a dire: E' caduta, è caduta Babilonia! Tutte le immagini scolpite dei suoi dèi giacciono a terra frantumate. |
| 10 | O mon peuple, qui as été battu comme du grain dans mon aire ! Ce que j'ai appris de l'Éternel des armées, Dieu d'Israël, Je vous l'ai annoncé. | O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you. | O thou my threshing, and the grain of my floor! that which I have heard from Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you. | O popolo mio, che ho trebbiato e calpestato nella mia aia ciò che ho udito dall'Eterno degli eserciti, il DIO d'Israele, io te l'ho annunziato!. |
