complete verse (Jeremiah 6:23)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 6:23:

  • Kupsabiny: “Those people are very arrogant/brutal
    and they carry their arrows and spears.
    They sound like a roaring ocean
    when they come on their horses
    and (they) are ready to fight against Zion!"” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They are armed with arrows-and-bows and spears. They are violent and without mercy. Their noise is like the strong wave as they ride on their horses. They will-arrive ready to attack you (plur.), (who)-come-from-Jerusalem. ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They have bows and arrows and spears;
    they are very cruel, and do not act mercifully to anyone.
    As they ride along on their horses,
    the horses’ feet sound like the roaring of the ocean waves;
    they are riding in battle formation
    to attack you people of Jerusalem.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
