complete verse (Jeremiah 11:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 11:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “Tell those people, ‘Why do you enter my House and become people who commit sin? Or do you think that meat which is offered can save you? Do those things make you happy?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The people whom I loved have-done many wicked things. So, what is their right to come to my temple? Can- their offerings -hold/block/stop the destruction that will-come to them? When they do wickedness they still/even rejoice!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Yahweh said,
    ‘The people of Judah whom I love certainly no longer have a right to come to my temple,
    because they continually do many evil things.
    They think that continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will protect them from disasters,
    with the result that they will be able to rejoice.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
