Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 14:7:
- Kupsabiny: “Then I said to God,
‘Even though our sins show that we are bad, oh, God,
save us on account of the honor of your name.
We have rebelled many times against you
doing great sin against you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The people said, ‘O LORD, we have sinned against you. We always turn-away from you, and we are worthy to be punished. But help us for the honor of your name.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The people say, ‘Yahweh, we have turned away from you and sinned many times,
and now we know that we are being punished because of our sins,
but please help us
in order that everyone can see that you are very great.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
