Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 40:10:

  • Kupsabiny: β€œI shall remain in Mizpah so that I can take care of matters for you when the people of Babylon come. But you, make wine, and pluck the fruits, prepare olive oil and keep it in your skin containers. Live in the cities you have taken over.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: β€œI myself will-stay here at Mizpa to represent you (plur.) before those from-Babilonia if they arrive here to us. Stay in any place you (plur.) want, and pick grapes, olives, and other fruits, and hide them in your containers.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: β€œAs for me, I will stay here at Mizpah to be your representative to the officials from Babylonia who come to talk with us. But you should return to your towns, and eat the things that are produced on your land. Harvest the grapes and the fruit that ripen in the summer/hot season and the olives, make wine and olive oil, and store it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
