complete verse (Lamentations 1:12)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Lamentations 1:12:

  • Kupsabiny: “Yes, don’t you (plur.) who pass by see that I am in trouble?
    Please, look around.
    Is there any person who has gone through such suffering,
    the one that has been put on me?
    God put these matters on me
    when he became extremely angry.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “You people who pass by on this road,
    Don’t you care about all that has happened here?
    Look around and think!
    Has any calamity worse than what has been given to me
    on the day of the LORD’s great wrath
    ever happened to anyone else?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “She also said to the people who pass-by, ‘Is this just nothing to you (plur.)? You look if you see someone-who suffers like me. This suffering was-given by the LORD to me at the time of his fierce anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You people who pass by,
    you do not seem to care at all about what has happened to us.
    Look around and see
    that there are no other people who are suffering like we are.
    Yahweh has caused us to suffer
    because he was extremely angry with us.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
