Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 26:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “Who knows, (they) might listen to the words and abandon those evil habits/customs of theirs. Then I might change my thoughts so that I do not send the suffering that I had wanted to bring on account of their sin which they have committed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Perhaps they will-listen to you (sing.) and will-turn-away from their wicked way. If they will-do that, I will- not -pursue/continue the destruction that I have-planned to do to them because of their wicked doings.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If you do tell them everything, perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
