u/GeneralAnubis posted the translation and “Star Wars” fans should give this person props. I’ve translated carvings in Aurebesh before, but Mando’a is one I’ve never tried. Even with an alphabet available on a site online, you’d have to know the symbols. The Redditor even figured out where the bit was from without the entire text translation. It is apparently part of Exodus 10:5-6. The parts that were translatable were bolded. Here is what it says:
“And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.”
This is part of the Bible text that discusses a plague of locusts in Egypt, coming down to eat everything and lay the earth bare. There have been many themes in the Star Wars universe that cross over with religion, from the teachings of the Jedi and Sith being called an “ancient religion” in “A New Hope” to the Mandalorian cult that Din belongs to. However, it has always seemed to me that the teachings of the Jedi were closer to some Eastern religions. Christianity doesn’t often stick out to me (or the author of the Yahoo! article) as one that Star Wars leans on. Your mileage may vary on that.
