Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 32:24:

  • Kupsabiny: “See how these people have heaped up things besieging the city to fight it and take it. This war has brought famine and sicknesses. And after that this city is handed over to these people who are fighting it. Have you not now seen with your eyes that the things that you predicted are being fulfilled?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And now those from-Babilonia are-pilling soil beside the wall of Jerusalem so that they could-climb-up this and conquer the city. And because of war, famine, and disease, those from-Babilonia will-be-able-to-conquer/[lit. take-by-force] the city just as you have said.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “And now, the army of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city walls in order to attack our city. Because of our enemies’ swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it easily. The things that you said would happen have now happened.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
