Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 31:13:
- Kupsabiny: “God is saying,
‘I will turn their mourning to become happiness
and I will make their pain to become joy.
Then their daughters will sing/dance with joy
and their young men and old men will be happy.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Their ladies and young-men as-well-as the old-ones will-dance for joy. I will-replace their crying with joy. Instead that they will-mourn, I will-comfort them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The young women will dance joyfully,
and all the men, young ones and old ones, will join with them.
I will cause them to rejoice instead of mourning;
I will comfort them and cause them to be happy instead of being sad.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
