  • Kupsabiny: “Even though those people long to return to the land of Judah, they can not. But a few people only will escape death. and return to their land.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “All of you (plur.) will-die, you (plur.) who are left alive in Juda who stayed here in Egipto. You (plur.) no longer (can)-return to Juda, where you (plur.) want to return again and live. No one can return among you (plur.) except for a few who (can)-flee/escape.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You people who did not die in Judah fled here to Egypt, hoping that some day you would return to Judah. But very few of you will survive and escape. You are longing/wanting to remain alive and return to Judah, but only a very few of you will escape and be able to do that.’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
