Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 47:7:
- Kupsabiny: βBut then how can the sword take a break
and (yet) God has given (it) work?
God said that (it) should go and fight against Ashkelon
and the people who live at the shore of the ocean.ββ (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βBut how will- it -stop for I command it to attack Ashkelon and the people who live near the seashore?ββ (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: βBut it would not be right for their swords to stay there,
because Yahweh has commanded their enemies to do something more;
Yahweh intends to tell them to attack all the people living in Ashkelon and in other cities along the coast.β (Source: Translation for Translators)
