Out of the darkness
Translation

Translated by dramati
Target language: English

Out of darkness comes light.
Remarks about the translation
בוקע is an interesting word. It can mean split, cleaved, or emerged. The literal translation is split, or cleaved, but it is also used to mean to erupt, to emerge, and to break through, all of which are also correct translations. In consideration of the English needed to make this clearer to an English reader, I chose to use emerged, which implies being split off from, or to be separated from.

The translation is literally correct but for a tattoo I'd go with something shorter and more powerful such as: "Out of Darkness bursts light" or "Out of darkness comes light".
בוקע can also mean "burst out"

That is a good point, and since it is for a tatto we should make it short with the same meaning. Will make the change and validate. Thanks,
