complete verse (Jeremiah 29:22)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 29:22:

  • Kupsabiny: “If a person who was taken from Judah to go to Babylon wants to curse another person to meet with painful words/events, let him say, ‘May God do to you the events that Zedekiah and Ahab met with, those that the king of Babylon burned alive.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Their fate will-be-used by the ones who are from-Juda who were taken-captive to Babilonia to curse others. They will-say, ‘May the LORD kill you like Zedekia and Ahab who were burned by the king of Babilonia.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Because of what will happen to them, all you people who have been taken from Judah to Babylon will say this when they curse someone: ‘I hope/wish that Yahweh will do to you the same thing that he did to Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the King of Babylon caused to be killed by being burned in a fire.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
