complete verse (Jeremiah 38:22)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 38:22:

  • Kupsabiny: “I saw all the women who remained in your home being taken to go to where the commanders of the king of Babylon are. They said to you,
    ‘Your friends deceived you and overcame you
    those you thought to trust.
    Your feet have fallen into mud,
    and those friends have fled from you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “All the women left in your palace will-be-brought by the officials of the king of Babilonia. These women will-say to you: ‘You were deceived by your close friends. Now that your feet are sinking on the mud, they abandoned you.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “All the women who remain in your palace will be brought out and given to the officers of the king of Babylon. Then those women will say to you:
    ‘You had friends whom you thought you could trust,
    but they have deceived you and caused you to make a wrong decision.
    Now it is as though you are stuck in mud,
    and your friends have abandoned you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
