Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 48:36:
- Kupsabiny: “So, my stomach feels sorry for Moab
like when a person blows a flute while mourning.
I also cry like that for the people of Kir-hareseth,
because all the wealth they had amassed has been plundered from them.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘Therefore I truly mourn for Moab and for those from-Kir Hareset, like a lonely music/sound of a flute for the dead. The wealth that they have acquired has- now -gone.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth
like someone playing a funeral song on a flute,
because all their wealth will disappear.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
