Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 2:20:
- Kupsabiny: “You Israel have been refusing my authority from long ago.
You refused to obey me and worship me.
You have been worshipping idols on
every high hill
and you Israel have been laid
under every green tree like a prostitute.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘In the time-past, when you (plur.) were enslaved, you (plur.) are like a cow that have yoke or a prisoner that have chain, but when I already set- you (plur.) -free, you (plur.) will- not -serve me. Instead, you (plur.) worshipped the false-gods on every high mountain and under every leafy tree. You (plur.) are like a woman who sells her body.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
