Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Lamentations 1:16:

• Kupsabiny: “That is what makes me weep bitterly,
  so tears are flowing from my eyes.
  During all that time, no one comforted me,
  or uplifted my heart.
  Oh, boy, oh, my people have become poor/orphaned,
  because the enemies have defeated me!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “‘That is why I weep,
  floods of tears are flowing from my eyes,
  there is no one to comfort me.
  There is no one who can give me encouragement.
  My children have become homeless,
  because the enemy has won.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “That is why my tears are-over-flowing in crying. No one at-all comforts and strengthens me. My people are pitiful for they were defeated by an enemy.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “I weep because of all those things;
  my eyes are filled with tears.
  There is no one to comfort me;
  those who could encourage me are far away.
  Our enemies have conquered us,
  so our children have nothing good to hope for/expect to happen.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
