complete verse (Jeremiah 44:26)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 44:26:

  • Kupsabiny: “But listen all you people of Judah who live in the land of Egypt. God is saying: I swear by my own name of power that there is no person of Judah who is in the whole land of Egypt who will be using my name to swear saying, ‘I swear by God!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But listen to what I am-saying, you (plur.) people of Juda who live in Egipto. I swear to myself that no one among you (plur.) can-use my powerful name. No one can swear like this: ‘I swear in the name of the living Lord GOD.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But now, all you people from Judah who are now living here in Egypt, listen to this message from Yahweh. He says, ‘I have solemnly declared, using my great name, that soon none of you people from Judah who are here in Egypt will ever again use my name. There will be none of you who, when you solemnly promise to do something, will ever again say, ‘I will do it as surely as Yahweh lives.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
