רָנִּ֥י עֲקָרָ֖ה לֹ֣א יָלָ֑דָה פִּצְחִ֨י רִנָּ֤ה וְצַהֲלִי֙ לֹא־חָ֔לָה כִּֽי־רַבִּ֧ים בְּֽנֵי־שׁוֹמֵמָ֛ה מִבְּנֵ֥י בְעוּלָ֖ה אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה׃
Bersorak-sorailah, hai perempuan mandul yang tidak pernah melahirkan! Bergembiralah dengan sorak-sorai dan berserulah dengan riang, hai engkau yang tidak pernah merasakan sakit bersalin! Sebab anak-anak dari perempuan yang ditinggalkan sunyi itu lebih banyak daripada anak-anak dari perempuan yang bersuami, firman Yang Mahakekal.
Rashi
Sing, you barren woman Jerusalem, who was as though she had not borne.
Ibn Ezra
O barren, thou that didst not bear. The congregation of Israel is called barren and a woman that did not bear—the latter attribute being the explanation of the former—because of its small number.
Rashi
you who have not experienced birth pangs Heb. חָלָה, an expression of childbirth, for the woman in confinement gives birth with pains and writhing.
