Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 18:11:
- Kupsabiny: “So, tell the people of Judah and those of Jerusalem that I am preparing bad things to punish them. Tell those people to abandon their life of sin and turn/change their habits/customs and those things that they are doing.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Therefore tell the people of Juda and of Jerusalem that this is what I say: ‘Listen! I have a destruction that I prepare and plan against you (plur.). So you (plur.) turn-away now from your (plur.) wicked ways. Each one of you (plur.) renew now his/her ways and doings/actions.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all the people in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: ‘I am planning to cause you to experience a disaster. So, each of you should turn from your evil behavior and start doing what is right, in order that you will not experience that disaster.’ ’ ’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
