Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 37:21:
- Kupsabiny: “Then, the king said/announced that I should stay in the courtyard/compound of the guards. I was given a bread to eat every day, which was brought from where the people who make bread were. I ate like that always provided there was still bread in the city.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Therefore King Zedekia commanded to just put Jeremias there in the courtyard of the guards of the palace. The king also commanded that Jeremias will-be-given bread everyday while there is still bread in the city. Therefore Jeremias remained as prison in the courtyard of the guards.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So King Zedekiah commanded that I not be sent back to the prison cell. Instead, I was allowed to be watched by the guards in the courtyard of the palace. The king also commanded that they should bring me a loaf of fresh bread every day, until there was no bread left in the city. So they put me in that courtyard and I remained there.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
