complete verse (Jeremiah 49:22)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 49:22:

  • Kupsabiny: “Listen (plur.), the enemy is hurrying towards Bozrah
    like an eagle is approaching.
    Then the soldiers of Edom will be terrified
    like a woman who is about to give birth.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Look! The enemy is-like an eagle that flies to swoop-down Bozra. At that time the soldiers of Moab will-be-troubled/afraid/scared/[lit. nervous] like a woman about-to-give-birth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Look! The enemy troops will swoop/rush down over Bozrah
    like an eagle spreads its wings when it swoops down to seize an animal.
    On that day, even the strongest warriors of Edom will be afraid
    like a woman who is about to give birth.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
