Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 32:25:
- Kupsabiny: “But oh, God, the people of Babylon are coming to take the city and you (still) say to me, ‘Buy a field with silver and call witnesses.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But in spite of this, O Lord GOD, you commanded me to buy the field before/[lit. in front of] witnesses, even though this city will-soon be conquered by those of/from-Babilonia.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “And it is evident that the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, I do not understand why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
