Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 6:4:
- Kupsabiny: “Those people will say,
‘Prepare to fight against this city.
Let us begin the battle when the sun is still high!’
But they will say,
‘But the sun is setting/going down
and the shadows of the afternoon are already long.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The commanders will-say, (Note: verse 4 – followed ASD) ‘You (plur.) prepare! When noon-time come, we will-attack them.’ But when it was already afternoon, the commander will-say, ‘The sun is- already -sitting-down and (it is) becoming-dark already.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
