complete verse (Jeremiah 14:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 14:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Why are you like a person who was taken by surprise,
    or a soldier who is unable to save a person?
    But we are together with you, oh, God,
    and we are called by your name
    so, do not leave us.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Are you also like a man that could not do anything? Are you like a soldier who has no ability to help? You are among us, O LORD, and we are your people, therefore do not abandon us.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Are you also surprised about the terrible things that are happening to us?
    Why do you act like you are unable to save anyone, even though you are a strong warrior?
    Yahweh, you are here among us,
    and others know that we are your people,
    so do not abandon us!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
