complete verse (Jeremiah 14:22)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 14:22:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do the idols that other nations worship bring rain?
    Or is the sky able to sprinkle (water) on its own?
    We trust in you, oh, God, who is our God
    because it is you who do all these things.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Not even one little-god of the nations that can-cause-to-rain. Even the heaven itself can- not -cause-to-rain but you (sing.) alone, LORD our (excl.) God. You (sing.) alone can-do it, so we (excl.) hope in you (sing.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Those idols that have been brought from other nations certainly cannot bring rain to us,
    and the sky certainly cannot cause rain to fall.
    Yahweh our God, you are the only one who can do things like that.
    So we will confidently expect you to help us.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
