Cebuano	Ug ikaw, sa diha nga ikaw mahimong biniyaan, unsa bay imong buhaton? Bisan ikaw magasaput ug mapula, bisan ikaw magadayandayan ug mga dayandayan nga bulawan, bisan pa ug buliton mo ang imong mga mata sa pintal, kawang lamang ang pagpaanyag mo sa imong kaugalingon; ang imong mga hinigugma managtamay kanimo, sila managpangita sa imong kinabuhi.
Chinese	你淒涼的時候要怎樣行呢．你雖穿上朱紅衣服、佩戴黃金裝飾、用顏料修飾眼目、這樣標緻、是枉然的．戀愛你的藐視你、並且尋索你的性命。
Croatian	A ti, opustošena, što æeš uèiniti? Da se i grimizom zaodjeneš, nakitom zlatnim ukrasiš i oèi lièilom izraniš, uzalud se uljepšavaš! Ljubavnici tvoji tebe preziru: traže glavu tvoju.
Danish	Og du, hvad vil du mon gøre? Om end du klæder dig i Skarlagen, smykker dig med Guld og gør Øjnene store med Sminke det er spildt, du gør dig smuk. Elskerne agter dig ringe, dit Liv vil de have.
Dutch	Wat zult gij dan doen, gij verwoeste? Al kleeddet gij u met scharlaken, al versierdet gij u met gouden sieraad, al schuurdet gij uw ogen met blanketsel, zo zoudt gij u toch tevergeefs oppronken; de boelen versmaden u, zij zullen uw ziel zoeken.
Finnish	Ja sinä tuhon oma, mitä teet, kun pukeudut purppuraan, kun koristaudut kultakoristeilla, kun suurennat silmäsi ihomaalilla? Turhaan sinä itsesi kaunistat. Rakastajat ovat hyljänneet sinut, he etsivät sinun henkeäsi.
French	Et toi, dévastée, que vas-tu faire? Tu te revêtiras de cramoisi, tu te pareras d`ornements d`or, Tu mettras du fard à tes yeux; Mais c`est en vain que tu t`embelliras; Tes amants te méprisent, Ils en veulent à ta vie.
German	Was willst du alsdann tun, du Verstörte? Wenn du dich schon mit Purpur kleiden und mit goldenen Kleinoden schmücken und dein Angesicht schminken würdest, so schmückst du dich doch vergeblich; die Buhlen werden dich verachten, sie werden dir nach dem Leben trachten.
Haitian Creole	Ou menm, lavil Jerizalèm, ou fini! Kisa ou ka fè? W'ap mete bèl rad wouj sou ou? W'ap mete tout bijou ou yo? W'ap pentire po je ou? Ou mèt fè ou bèl, sa p'ap sèvi ou anyen. Se meprize moun ki te renmen ou yo ap meprize ou! Yo soti pou yo touye ou.
Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari	Hai Yerusalem, engkau telah ditinggalkan dan tak dapat berbuat apa-apa! Untuk apa memakai baju merah dan menghias diri dengan emas perak, serta memalit mata dengan celak? Percuma kau mempersolek dirimu, sebab para kekasihmu tak sudi lagi kepadamu, malah mereka mau mencabut nyawamu.
Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama	Sebab itu apakah hendak kauperbuat? engkau yang hampir akan binasa! jikalau engkau berpakaikan kain ungu, jikalau engkau menghiasi dirimu dengan pelbagai benda keemasan, jikalau engkau menyapukan matamu dengan celak sekalipun, cuma-cuma juga engkau menghiasi dirimu begitu, segala kendak mencelakan dikau, mereka itu juga menuntut jiwamu.
Italian	E tu, devastata, che farai? Anche se ti vestissi di scarlatto, ti adornassi di fregi d'oro e ti facessi gli occhi grandi con il bistro, invano ti faresti bella. I tuoi amanti ti disprezzano; essi vogliono la tua vita.
Maori	A, ko koe, kia oti koe te pahua, ka pehea koe? Ahakoa kakahu noa koe i te ngangana, ahakoa whakapaipai noa koe i a koe ki nga whakapaipai koura, ahakoa haehae noa koe i ou kanohi, mea rawa ki te pukepoto, maumau mea noa koe i a koe kia ataahua; ka whakahawea ki a koe te hunga i aroha ki a koe, ka whai kia mate koe.
Norwegian	Og du, når du blir ødelagt, hvad vil du da gjøre? Om du klær dig i purpur, om du pryder dig med gullstas, om du gjør dine øine store med sminke, så er det fåfengt at du gjør dig yndig; dine elskere forsmår dig, de vil ta ditt liv.
Rumanian	Wi tu, pustiito, ce vei face? Te vei kmbrqca kn ckrmkz, te vei kmpodobi cu podoabe de aur, kyi vei sulimeni ochii; dar degeaba te vei knfrumuseya: ibovnici tqi te dispreyuiesc, wi vor sq-yi ia viaya.

Spanish	Y tú, oh devastada, ¿qué harás? Aunque te vistas de grana y te adornes con adornos de oro, aunque te agrandes los ojos con pintura, en vano te embelleces. Tus amantes te despreciarán; lo que ellos buscan es tu vida.
Swedish	Vad vill du göra i din förödelse? Om du än kläder dig i scharlakan, om du än pryder dig med gyllene smycken om du än söker förstöra dina ögon genom smink, så gör du dig dock skön förgäves. Dina älskare förakta dig, ja, de stå efter ditt liv.
