Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 26:9:
- Kupsabiny: “Why have you come to predict for us words using the name of God and saying that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate/deserted?’ Then all the people surrounded me in the house of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Why did you (sing.) say in the name of the LORD that this temple will-be-destroyed like Shilo, and this city will-become desolate and no longer be-inhabited?’ Therefore they took-by-force Jeremias there in the temple of the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Why are you prophesying that this temple will be destroyed like Shiloh was destroyed? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here any more? (OR, You should not be prophesying) ’ All the people surrounded me as I stood in front of the temple.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
