complete verse (Lamentations 2:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Lamentations 2:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “The elders of Jerusalem are today sitting on the ground
    in silence,
    and they have scattered ashes on the head
    and put on sacks.
    The ears of the girls of Jerusalem have fallen,
    looking down.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The elders of the daughter Zion
    sitting down on the ground in silence.
    They have put dust on their heads and wear sackcloth.
    The young girls of Jerusalem also bowed their heads to the ground.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The elders Zion sit on the ground without talking at-all. They put dust on their heads and they clothed with sackcloth to show their mourning. The young women of Jerusalem are-bowing-down-[their]-head in shame.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The old men of Jerusalem sit on the ground,
    and they say nothing.
    They wear rough sackcloth
    and throw dust on their heads to show that they are sad.
    The young girls of Jerusalem bow down sorrowfully,
    their faces touching the ground.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
