Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Lamentations 1:19:

  but they refused to save me.
  My priests died and/with the elders of the city
  searching for food to put in the stomachs.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “I called my lovers,
  but they betrayed me.
  The priests and leaders perished in the city
  while they were searching for food to keep themselves alive. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “I asked for help from my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and rulers died in the city while they were-searching for food so-that they will- just -live.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

  but they all refused.
  Our priests and our leaders
