complete verse (Jeremiah 16:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 16:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “but those people will swear, ‘I swear by the God who brought the people of Israel out from the land on the side of North and all the countries that he scattered them to!’ It is like that because I will cause those people to return to their land that I gave to their forefathers.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Instead, they will-say, ‘I swear to the living LORD who caused- the Israelinhon -to-come-out of the nation in the north and all the nations where he caused- them -to-scatter.’ For I will-bring- them -back to the land which I gave to their ancestors.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Instead, they will say ‘I will do this, just as surely as Yahweh lives—the one who brought us Israeli people back to our own land, from the lands to the north and from all the other lands to which he had exiled us/forced us to go.’ They will be able to say that because some day I will bring your descendants back to this land that I gave to your ancestors.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
