Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 21:9:
- Kupsabiny: “The person who remains in the city, famine, bad sicknesses will kill (him) or he will be speared/killed. But the one who goes out of the city and gives himself over to the Babylonians who have surrounded the city will stay alive.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Whoever will-stay in this city will-die from battle, of famine or of disease. But the one-who-will-surrender to those come-from-Babilonia who are-besieging you (plur.) will-live. Yes, (the one who) would-surrender saves his/her life.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Everyone who remains in Jerusalem will die. They will be killed in battles or die from being hungry or from diseases. But those who surrender to the army of Babylon that is surrounding your city will remain alive. They will escape dying.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
