    You were surely thrown down
    even though you had destroyed nations in the world!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “O morning star, son of the morning light,
    How you have fallen from heaven!
    [You] who have destroyed nation after nation
    Now you have gone down to the earth!” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘You (sing.) have-fallen from heaven, you (sing.) who is-called morning-star. You (sing.) were-thrown-down into the ground, you (sing.) who have-destroyed the nations.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You have disappeared from the earth like a star which has fallen from the sky;
    you were very well-known
    like the morning star which is seen by everyone;
    you destroyed many nations,
    but now you have been destroyed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
