Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 3:22:
- Kupsabiny: “Please return you (plur.) who went astray from me.
I will make you trust in me.
I want you to say, ‘We are returning because you are our God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “People who are not faithful, [you (plur.)] return to me for I will-heal your (plur.) unfaithfulness.’
They replied, ‘Yes, we (excl.) will-come-near to you (sing.) for you (sing.) are the LORD our (excl.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “Yahweh will say to them, ‘You Israeli people, come back to me!
If you do that, I will cause you to never turn away from me again.’
The people will reply, ‘We are returning to you,
because you are Yahweh, our God.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
