complete verse (Lamentations 2:2)

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

  • Kupsabiny: “God has destroyed all the cities
    those that the people of Israel lived in which he did not spare.
    He destroyed them through his anger.
    where the people of Juda trusted in.
    He pulled down the rulership of Juda
    its leaders being shamed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Lord has swallowed up all settlements
    in Judah without even a drop of mercy.
    In his anger he has torn down
    the strongholds of daughter of Judah.
    He has brought rulers and kingdom
    to the ground in dishonor.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He destroyed without pity all the houses of the descendants of Jacob. In his anger he destroyed the stone-walled that surround Juda. He humbled and put-to-shame this kingdom and its leaders.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh destroyed the homes of the people of Judah;
    he did not act mercifully.
    Because he was very angry,
    he broke down the fortresses of Judah.
    He has caused our kingdom and our rulers to become disgraced,
    and he has gotten rid of them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
