C'est ici la complainte qu'on fera sur elle, les filles des nations feront cette complainte sur elle; elles feront, dis-je, cette complainte sur l'Egypte, et sur toute la multitude de son peuple, dit le Seigneur.
Telle est la complainte; les filles des nations la chanteront d'une voix plaintive; elles la chanteront pour plaindre l'Égypte et toute sa multitude, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
C'est une complainte, et on la dira pour se lamenter; les filles des nations la diront en se lamentant, elles la diront en se lamentant sur l'Égypte et sur toute sa multitude, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her,.... The Egyptians themselves, or rather they that are after mentioned. The Targum is,
"the prophet said, a lamentation is this prophecy, and it shall be for a lamentation;''
he was bid at the beginning of it to take up a lamentation, and now at the end of it he pronounces it to be one, and that it should be sung as such:
the daughters of the nations shall lament for her; either literally understood, it being the business and custom of women to say or sing the funeral dirge, or the lamentation at the interment of the deceased; or figuratively, the inhabitants of other nations. So Ben Melech and the Targum,
"the villages of the people shall lament her'';
that is, the inhabitants of them, who were in alliance with Egypt, and under its protection:
they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude; for the desolation of the land, and for the vast numbers of people that should be slain with the sword, or carried captive:
saith the Lord God; which is added for the confirmation of it; for what he has spoken shall be done.
