| Cebuano | Kay siya mahimong sama sa kahoy nga natanum sa daplin sa katubigan, ug magakatag sa iyang mga gamut sa daplin sa suba, ug dili mahadlok kong mobaut ang ting-init, hinonoa magmalunhawon ang iyang dahon; ug dili maghingiros sa tuig nga hulaw, ni mohunong kini sa pagpamunga. |
| Croatian | Nalik je na stablo zasaðeno uz vodu što korijenje pušta k potoku: ne mora se nièeg bojati kad doðe žega, na njemu uvijek zelenilo ostaje. U sušnoj godini brigu ne brine, ne prestaje donositi plod. |
| Danish | Han bliver somn et Træ, der er plantet ved Vand, og strækker sine Rødder til Bækken, ej ængstes, når Heden komnmer, hvis Løv er frodig grønt, som ej ængstes i Tørkens År eller ophører med at bære Frugt. |
| Dutch | Want hij zal zijn als een boom, die aan het water geplant is, en zijn wortelen uitschiet aan een rivier, en gevoelt het niet, wanneer er een hitte komt, maar zijn loof blijft groen; en in een jaar van droogte zorgt hij niet, en houdt niet op van vrucht te dragen. |
| Finnish | Hän on kuin veden partaalle istutettu puu, joka ojentaa juurensa puron puoleen; helteen tuloa se ei peljästy, vaan sen lehvä on vihanta, ei poutavuonnakaan sillä ole huolta, eikä se herkeä hedelmää tekemästä. |
| French | Il est comme un arbre planté près des eaux, Et qui étend ses racines vers le courant; Il n`aperçoit point la chaleur quand elle vient, Et son feuillage reste vert; Dans l`année de la sécheresse, il n`a point de crainte, Et il ne cesse de porter du fruit. |
| German | Der ist wie ein Baum, am Wasser gepflanzt und am Bach gewurzelt. Denn obgleich eine Hitze kommt, fürchtet er sich doch nicht, sondern seine Blätter bleiben grün, und sorgt nicht, wenn ein dürres Jahr kommt sondern er bringt ohne Aufhören Früchte. |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Ia bagaikan pohon di tepi sungai yang mengalir; akarnya merambat sampai ke air. Ia tak takut musim kemarau, daun-daunnya selalu hijau. Sekalipun negeri dilanda kekeringan, ia tak gelisah sebab ia selalu menghasilkan buah. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Karena adalah ia seperti sebatang pohon kayu yang tertanam pada tepi air dan yang merambatkan akarnya pada tepi sungai; maka tiada dirasainya apabila datang panas terik, melainkan daunnya tinggal hijau juga, tiada diindahkannya jikalau kering setahun lamanya dan tiada ia berhenti dari pada berbuah. |
| Italian | Egli è come un albero piantato lungo l'acqua, verso la corrente stende le radici; non teme quando viene il caldo, le sue foglie rimangono verdi; nell'anno della siccit non intristisce, non smette di produrre i suoi frutti. |
| Maori | Ka rite hoki ia ki te rakau i whakatokia ki te taha o nga wai, e toro nei ona pakiaka ki te awa, a kahore e wehi i te tikakatanga mai o te ra, engari ka matomato tonu tona rau; e kore e manukanuka i te tau raki, e kore ano hoki e mutu tona whai h ua. |
| Norwegian | Han skal bli lik et tre som er plantet ved vann og skyter sine røtter ut ved en bekk, og som ikke frykter når heten kommer, men alltid har grønne blad, og som ikke sørger i tørre år og ikke holder op å bære frukt. |
