Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 49:1:
- Kupsabiny: “And/But concerning the people of Ammon, God said,
‘Where have the young men of Israel gone?
Is there no one in Israel who can inherit (a wife)?
Molek has taken over the land of Gad
and its people live in its cities!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “This is what the LORD has said concerning the Ammonhon:
‘You (plur.) people who worship the god Molec, why do you inhabited the cities of the land of Gad? Has Israel no descendants to inherit this land?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “This message is about the Ammon people-group. This is what Yahweh says:
‘There are plenty of Israeli people left
to occupy the land of the tribe of Gad.
So, why are the people who worship the god Molech living in those towns?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
