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)
