complete verse (Jeremiah 8:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 8:6:

  • Kupsabiny: β€œI have listened carefully to them,
    but they are not speaking a word of truth.
    A person does not repent of what (he) has done
    or say, β€˜What have I done?’
    Everyone goes his own way
    like a horse that runs towards the battle.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: β€œI have-listened attentively/[lit. good] to what you (plur.) spoke and you (sing.) did- not -say right. Not even one among you (plur.) who repented from/of his wickedness. No one has said, β€˜What is this I have-done?’ Instead, each one of you (plur.) (is) swift/fast in sinning, like a horse going to battle.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: β€œI have listened carefully to what they say,
    but they do not say what they should say.
    Not one of them is sorry for having sinned.
    No one says, β€˜I have done wicked things.’
    They are sinning and doing what they want to
    as fast as a horse that is running into a battle.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
