Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 38:27:

• Kupsabiny: “Then those leaders came and asked me like that. I answered as the king had told me. So they left me because no one had seen me speak with the king.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Sure enough the officials went to the Jeremias and asked him. He answered them according to what the king has said to him. So they no longer keep questioning, for no one has-heard when Jeremias and the king talked-to-each-other.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “And that is what happened. The king’s officials came to me and asked why the king had summoned me. But I told them what the king told me to tell them. So they did not ask me any more questions, because no one had heard what the king and I had said to each other.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
