complete verse (Jeremiah 29:23)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 29:23:

  • Kupsabiny: “It is done like that because they did something very bad/abhorrent in Israel. They slept with the wives of their neighbors, and they spoke words of lying in my name, words/things that I did not tell them to do. I am saying these words because I saw them happen,’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “This will-happen to them for they have done a detestable thing in Israel. They have committed-adultery with the wife of another and spoke lies in my name, that I never commanded that they will-do. I truly know these-that they have done and I can-witness against them. I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They have done terrible things to my Israeli people. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and they have spoken lies, saying that they were messages from me. They have said things that I did not tell them to say, and I, Yahweh, have heard them say those things.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
