    and will sing a song of lament regarding your situation:

    He snatched it away from us.
    He has divided our fields among those who have deceived us.’"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

  • English: “At that time, your enemies will make fun of you;
    they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you:
    ‘We are completely ruined;
    Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us,
    and he will give it to those who will capture us.’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
