Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 23:22:
- Kupsabiny: “If they had known what I wanted
or had announced my words to my people,
it is something that would make them turn from sin
and (they would) abandon their evil deeds.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But if they only know what is in my mind, they would have-proclaimed my words to my people, so-that they will-turn-away from their evil ways and deeds.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “If they had been in my council meetings,
they would have been able to speak messages from me,
and they would have caused people to turn away from committing evil things.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
