Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 19:11:
- Kupsabiny: “Then say to (them), ‘The God of power is saying: The way I will smash this community and this city is like this. I shall smash (them) like the container of the person who makes pots are broken to pieces, so that no one can repair it. People will be buried in Topheth until they lie on top of one another.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Tell them that I, the LORD Almighty, says, ‘I will-destroy the nation of Juda and the city of Jerusalem like the smashing of this jar which can- not -be-repaired anymore. They will-bury the very many dead in Tofet until there is no more place where-to-bury.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Then say to them, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Just like this jar has been smashed and cannot be repaired, I will smash this city of Jerusalem and other places in Judah. You will bury some of your corpses here in this dump, until there is no more space to bury any more corpses.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
