complete verse (Jeremiah 12:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 12:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “You always stand on truth, oh God,
    when I bring my grievances to you.
    But I want a word (from you),
    why do sinners prosper?
    Why do all the bad people enjoy life?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “O LORD, if I have a complaint against you (sing.), (it) come-out that you (sing.) right. But now I have a question about your (sing.) justice: Why are the wicked-ones prosper? Why are the people who betray you (sing.) live peacefully/at-ease?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
