Vox in Rama audita est
ploratus et ululatus [multus],
Rachel plorans filios suos,
[et] noluit consolari, quia non sunt.

Auf dem Gebirge hat man ein Geschrei gehöret,
viel Klagens, Weinens und Heulens,
Rahel beweinete ihre Kinder
und wollt sich nicht trösten lassen, denn es war aus mit ihnen.

Hungarian.png Hungarian translation

Hang hallatszik a hegyen,
nagy sírás és jajgatás,
Ráchel siratja fiait
és nem akar vigasztalódni, mert nincsenek többé.

A voice is heard in Ramah
of weeping and [great] lamentation.
Rachel is weeping for her children,
and will not be comforted because they are no more.

In Rama werd een stem gehoord,
vol droefheid en [groot] weegeklaag.
Rachel die haar zonen beweent,
en ontroostbaar is, omdat ze zijn heengegaan.

Głos jest słyszan w Ramie,
płacz i krzyk wielki,
Rachel płacząca synów swoich,
i nie chciała się dać pocieszyć, iż ich nie masz.
