Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 32:23:

• Kupsabiny: “When they arrived, they took this land and made it become theirs. But they did not hear/listen to your words and did not follow your laws. They refused to do what you told them. So that is what made you want to send them this suffering.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They possessed it, but they did not obey you or follow your law. They did not do what you caused/had- them -to-do. Therefore you sent them destruction.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
