complete verse (Jeremiah 19:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 19:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “I am going to do like that because people have abandoned me and made idols in this land in order to make sacrifices to things that they did not know at all, even their forefathers or/and the rulers of Judah. And again they have killed here people who had no sin/mistake.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I will-do this, for my people have-rejected me, and this valley/plain they made into a place-of-offering of burnt offerings for other gods. These gods they did not even know or by their ancestors or by the kings of Juda. They even killed innocent children in this place.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “That will happen because you Israeli people have stopped worshiping me, and have caused this place to be a place where you worship foreign gods. You burn sacrifices to gods that neither you nor your ancestors nor even the kings of Judah ever heard about. And you have filled this place with the blood of innocent people whom you have killed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
