| Jacobean English | 1611 | King James | For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea. |

| Cebuano | Kay ang kaumahan sa Hesbon nanganiwang, ug ang kaparrasan sa Sibma; gipamutol sa mga kadagkuan sa mga nasud ang pinili nga mga sanga niini, nga nakakab-ut bisan hangtud sa Jazer, nga misalaag ngadto sa kamingawan; ang iyang mga saha nangakatag, sila mingtabok sa dagat. |
| Croatian | Jer uvenuše nasadi hešbonski, trsje sibmansko, i lišæe su mu pomlatili gospodari naroda. Sezaše do Jazera, zamicaše u pustinju; izdanci mu dosezahu sve do mora. |
| Danish | Thi visne er Hesjbons Marker, Sibmas Vinstok, hvis Druer slog Folkenes Herrer til Jorden; den nåede Ja'zer, famled gennem Ørkenen, dens Ranker bredte sig, overskred Havet. |
| Dutch | Want de velden van Hesbon zijn verflauwd, ook de wijnstok van Sibma, de heren der heidenen hebben zijn uitgelezen planten verpletterd; zij reiken tot Jaezer toe, zij dwalen door de woestijn; hun scheuten zijn uitgespreid, zij zijn gegaan over zee. |
| Finnish | Sillä kuihtuneet ovat Hesbonin viinitarhat, Sibman viiniköynnökset; niiden jalot rypäleet kaatoivat kansojen valtiaita, ne ulottuivat Jaeseriin asti, harhailivat halki erämaan, niiden vesat levisivät, menivät yli meren. |
| French | Car les campagnes de Hesbon languissent; Les maîtres des nations ont brisé les ceps de la vigne de Sibma, Qui s`étendaient jusqu`à Jaezer, qui erraient dans le désert: Les rameaux se prolongeaient, et allaient au delà de la mer. |
| German | Denn Hesbon ist ein wüstes Feld geworden; der Weinstock zu Sibma ist verderbt; die Herren unter den Heiden haben seine edlen Reben zerschlagen, die da reichten bis gen Jaser und sich zogen in die Wüste; ihre Schößlinge sind zerstreut und über das Meer geführt. |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Ladang-ladang dekat Hesybon dan kebun-kebun anggur Sibma sudah dibinasakan, kebun-kebun yang biasanya menghasilkan anggur yang paling baik untuk para penguasa bangsa dan membuat mereka mabuk. Dahulu kebun-kebun anggur itu meluas sampai kota Yaezer; dan ke timur sampai padang pasir, dan di sebelah barat sampai seberang Laut Mati. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Bahkan, segala padang Hezbonpun layurlah, segala pokok anggur Sibma itu sudah dipatahkan oleh penghulu-penghulu segala bangsa itu, bahwa ranting-rantingnya sampai ke Yaezar dan berjalaran di padang belantara, pucuk-pucuknya melancar sampai ke seberang tasik. |
| Maori | Kua kahakore hoki nga mara o Hehepona, me te waina o Hipima; he mea whatiwhati na nga rangatira o nga iwi ona waina pai rawa, i tae nei ki Iatere rawa, i toro haere atu ki te koraha: i toha haere ona peka, i whiti ki tera taha o te moana. |
| Norwegian | For Hesbons marker er visnet, og Sibmas* vintre, hvis edle ranker slo folkenes herskere** til jorden; de nådde like til Jaser og forvillet sig ut i ørkenen; dets kvister bredte sig ut og gikk over havet. # <* Sibma lå nær ved Hesbon.> # <** beruset dem så de falt drukne om.> |
| Portuguese | porque os campos de Hesbom enfraqueceram, e a vinha de Sibma; os senhores des nações derrubaram os seus ramos, que chegaram a Jazer e penetraram no deserto; os seus rebentos se estenderam e passaram além do mar. |
| Rumanian | cqci ckmpiile Hesbonului lkncezesc; stqpknii neamurilor au sfqrkmat butucii viei din Sibma, cari se kntindeau pknq la Iaezer, wi se kncklceau prin pustie: mlqdiyele ei se kntindeau wi treceau dincolo de mare. |
| Swedish | Ty Hesbons fält äro förvissnade, så ock Sibmas vinträd, vilkas ädla druvor slogo folkens herrar till marken, vilkas rankor nådde till Jaeser och förirrade sig i öknen, vilkas skott bredde ut sig och gingo över havet. |
