complete verse (Jeremiah 44:12)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 44:12:

  • Kupsabiny: “I shall destroy the remnant of Judah that chose to go to the land of Egypt. I will destroy all from the famous to those who are not famous. War shall eat/finish some and others, famine shall finish. That will be very fierce/bad/serious and those people will be spoken badly about as they are being cursed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who are left alive in Juda who certainly insisted to come and stay here in Egipto, you all will-die from the least to the greatest. Yes, you will-die here by battle or famine. You will-be-cursed, disdained, considered-bad, and mocked.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You people from Judah who have survived were determined to come and live here in Egypt. So I will get rid of all of you here in Egypt. Every one of you will die, including those who are important and those who are not important. Some of you will be killed by your enemies’ swords, some will die from famines. You will become people whom others curse, be horrified about, and make fun of.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
