complete verse (Jeremiah 27:18)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 27:18:

  • Kupsabiny: “If they really were prophets and had the word of God, they should plead with the God of power that the utensils that remain in the House of God and the house of the king of Judah together with what is in Jerusalem are not taken away to go to the land of Babylon.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If they are true prophets and what they say comes from the LORD, they will-ask-for-mercy to the LORD Almighty that the articles which were left in the temple, in the palace of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem will- not [now] -be-brought to Babilonia.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that the soldiers from Babylon will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that still remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in the other palaces in Jerusalem.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
