Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 44:25:
- Kupsabiny: “The God of power of Israel is saying: You and your wives have done what you said, ‘We are certainly doing our acts/matters that we swore that we would burn those things that smell sweet to the woman ruler of up/heaven that we are praying to and we would pour out the sacrifices of wine.’ Yes, you just continue (plur.) with those things!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel is-saying: ‘You (plur.) and your wives truly obeyed what you have-promised to burn incense and offer drink offering to the Queen of Heaven. Okay, continue to do what you are-doing. Truly obey what you have-promised.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis worship, says to you Israeli men: ‘You and your wives have said that you would continue to do what you promised, to burn incense and pour out wine to the goddess whom you call the Queen of Heaven. And you have proved by your actions that you intend to continue to do that. So go ahead and continue doing what you have promised to do for her.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
