Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 46:23:
- Kupsabiny: “(They) will fell the forest defeating (it)
even though that forest is very closed/dense!
Those enemies are amazingly many
and they are thronging/swarming like grasshoppers.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They will-kill those from-Egipto as-if they are-cutting-down trees that are-healthy/has-thick-leaves. These enemies are even-more numerous than locusts; they can- not -be-counted.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I, Yahweh, say that they will kill the soldiers of Egypt
as though they were a forest of trees,
because the enemy soldiers will be as numerous as a swarm of locusts.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
