Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 25:29:
- Kupsabiny: “See, I am going to start by destroying this city called after me. Do you really think that you can escape this poison? I will not let you go free because I am sending calamity to all the people who live in this land. It is I the God of power who has spoken.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] look! I am beginning now to send destruction to Jerusalem, the city that I chose in-order to honor me. Are- you (plur.) now -thinking that I will- not -punish you (plur.)? I will- surely -punish you (plur.)! For I will-cause-to-fight all the nations in the whole world. I, the LORD Almighty, (am) the-(one) saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. Do you think that you should not be punished ? No, you will surely be punished because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. That will surely happen because I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
