Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 27:13:
- Kupsabiny: “Why would you and your people die having been killed by war, famine or sicknesses? This is what God had announced about what would happen to any community that has refused to work for the king of Babylon.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “For if not, you (sing.) and your (sing.) people will-die in war, famine, and disease, as what the LORD has-said that will-happen to the nation who will- not -serve the king of Babilonia.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that you and your people would die by your enemies’ swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
