| Middle English | 1395 | Wyclif | Telleth out in to Babilon to manye, to alle that beenden bowe. Stondeth togidere ayen it bi cumpas, and no man scape; yeldeth to it after his werc, after alle thingus that it dide, doth to it; for ayen the Lord it is rered, ayen the hoeli of Irael. |
| Jacobean English | 1611 | King James | Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. |
| Victorian English | 1833 | Webster | Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, encamp against it on every side; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do to her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. |
| Basic English | 1964 | Ogden | Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel. |

| Language | Jeremiah Chapter 50, Verse 29 |
| Cebuano | Tawga sa tingub ang mga magpapana batok sa Babilonia, silang tanan nga nanagbusog sa pana: magpahaluna kamo paglibut batok kaniya; ayaw pagpagawasa ang bisan kinsa niana: balusi siya sumala sa iyang mga buhat; sumala sa tanan nga iyang gibuhat, buhata kaniya; tungod kay nagarboso siya batok kang Jehova, batok sa Balaan sa Israel. |
| Croatian | Sazovite na Babilon strijelce, sve što zapinju lukove, opkolite ga sa svih strana: nitko da ne uteèe! Platite mu po zasluzi, vratite mu milo za drago, jer bi se oholio na Jahvu, Sveca Izraelova. |
| Danish | Kald Skytterne sammen mod Babel, enhver, som spænder Bue, slå Ring omkring det, lad ingen få Lov at slippe; gengæld det efter dets Gerning; efter alt, hvad det gjorde, skal I gøre imod det; thi Frækhed viste det mod HERREN, Israels Hellige. |
| Dutch | Laat u horen tegen Babel, gij schutters! gij allen, die den boog spant! legert u tegen haar rondom, laat niemand van hen ontkomen; vergeldt haar naar haar werk, doet haar naar alles, wat zij gedaan heeft; want zij heeft trotselijk gehandeld tegen den HEERE, tegen den Heilige Israels. |
| Finnish | Kutsukaa ampujat kokoon Baabelia vastaan, kaikki jousenjännittäjät: leiriytykää sen ympärille, älköön pääskö pakoon ainoakaan. Maksakaa sille sen tekojen mukaan; kaiken sen mukaan, mitä se on tehnyt, tehkää sillekin. Sillä se on uhitellut Herraa, Israelin Pyhää. |
| French | Appelez contre Babylone les archers, vous tous qui maniez l`arc! Campez autour d`elle, que personne n`échappe, Rendez-lui selon ses oeuvres, Faites-lui entièrement comme elle a fait! Car elle s`est élevée avec fierté contre l`Éternel, Contre le Saint d`Israël. |
| German | Ruft viel wider Babel, belagert sie um und um, alle Bogenschützen, und laßt keinen davonkommen! Vergeltet ihr, wie sie verdient hat; wie sie getan hat, so tut ihr wieder! denn sie hat stolz gehandelt wider den HERR, den Heiligen in Israel. |
| Hungarian | Gyûjtsetek össze Babilon ellen igen sokat, mindenkit a ki kézívet feszít, köröskörül járjatok ellene tábort, hogy senki el ne szaladhasson: fizessetek meg néki az õ cselekedete szerint, a mint õ cselekedett, úgy cselekedjetek vele; mert az Úr ellen kevélykedett, az Izráelnek Szentje ellen! |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | TUHAN berkata, "Suruhlah para pemanah menyerang Babel. Kerahkanlah setiap orang yang pandai memanah. Kepunglah kota itu dan jangan biarkan seorang pun lolos. Balaslah semua perbuatannya dan perlakukanlah dia setimpal dengan kelakuannya, sebab ia telah bertindak kurang ajar terhadap Aku, Yang Mahasuci, Allah Israel. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Biarlah kedengaran bunyimu kepada Babil, hai segala orang pemanah! hai kamu sekalian yang membentang busur! beraturlah tentara; kepungilah akan dia berkeliling; jangan ada seorang jua pun yang lari berlepas dirinya; balaslah kepadanya segala perbuatannya; buatlah akan dia setuju dengan segala sesuatu yang telah dibuat olehnya; karena dengan sombongnya ia sudah mendurhaka kepada Tuhan, Yang Mahasuci orang Israel. |
| Italian | Convocate contro Babilonia gli arcieri, quanti tendono l'arco. Accampatevi intorno ad essa in modo che nessuno scampi. Ripagatela secondo le sue opere, fate a lei quanto ha fatto agli altri, perché è stata arrogante con il Signore, con il Santo di Israele. |
| Maori | Karangarangatia kia hui nga kaikopere ki te tatau ki Papurona, te hunga katoa e whakapiko ana i te kopere; whakapaea tena pa, karapoi noa; kaua rawa tetahi ona e mawhiti; utua tana mahi; kia rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ta koutou e mea ai k i a ia: no te mea kua whakapehapeha ia ki a Ihowa, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira. |
| Norwegian | Kall skytterne sammen mot Babel, alle dem som spenner bue! Slå leir mot det rundt omkring, la ingen slippe unda! Betal det efter dets gjerninger, gjør mot det i alle deler som det har gjort! For mot Herren har det ophøiet sig, mot Israels Hellige. |
| Portuguese | Convocai contra Babilônia os flecheiros, todos os que armam arcos; acampai-vos contra ela em redor, ninguém escape dela. Pagai-lhe conforme a sua obra; conforme tudo o que ela fez, assim lhe fazei a ela; porque se houve arrogantemente contra o Senhor, contra o Santo de Israel. |
| Rumanian | Chemayi kmpotriva Babilonului pe arcawi, voi toyi cari kncordayi arcul! Tqbqrkyi kn jurul lui, ca nimeni sq nu scape, rqsplqtiyi -i dupq faptele lui, faceyi -i kntocmai cum a fqcut wi el! Cqci s`a semeyit kmpotriva Domnului, kmpotriva Sfkntului lui Israel!`` |
| Swedish | Båden upp mot Babel folk i mängd, allt vad bågskyttar heter; lägren eder runt omkring det, låten ingen undkomma. Vedergällen det efter dess gärningar; gören mot det alldeles såsom det självt har gjort. Ty mot HERREN har det handlat övermodigt, mot Israels Helige. |
