Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 8:13:
- Kupsabiny: “I shall destroy their food/crops
so that the vines do not produce fruits
nor does the fig tree produce figs
The leaves of those trees shall dry up,
and what I gave them, will be taken from (them).’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I will-take-away their products of grapes and figs. Even their leaves will-wither. What I have-given them will-be-taken-away from them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will allow their enemies to take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields.
Their fruit trees will all wither.
They will not receive all the blessings that I prepared for them.
This will certainly happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
