Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 44:7:
- Kupsabiny: “So I the God of power of Israel am asking what made you (plur.) bring such trouble on yourselves? Do you want to destroy yourselves including your women/wives, small children and the newborn ones so that not even one person shall remain in this house of Judah?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Therefore I, the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel asks: Why do you destroy yourself? Do you want that the people of Juda will-be-totally-consumed/be-finished — men, women, children and infants?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So now I, the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom you Israelis say you belong to, ask you: ‘Why are you causing yourselves to experience these disasters? Do you not realize that because of what you are doing, soon there will be no more men or women or children or infants left among you who have come here to Egypt from Judah?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
