Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 48:1:
- Kupsabiny: “The God of power of Israel said concerning Moab,
‘You (plur.) people of Nebo are in a bad situation,
because your city is being destroyed!
Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured
and its wall torn down
shame will come to the people of that city.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel said, concerning Moab:
‘To-be-pitied Nebo for this will-be-destroyed. Kiriataim will-be-put-to-shame and taken-captive, and its strong-walls/things-that-give-security/defenses will-fall-down.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said:
‘Terrible things will happen to Nebo town;
it will soon be ruined.
Kiriathaim city will be captured and all its people will be humiliated;
the high wall around their city will be ruined, and its people will become ashamed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
