Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 50:40:
- Kupsabiny: “I will do to Babylon things
that are like what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah,
when they were destroyed with all their neighboring villages.
Never shall a person live there again,
and it will be desolate forever.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Just as I destroyed Sodom and Gomora, and the towns around it, I will- also -destroy Babilonia. No one will- ever -live there. I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will destroy Babylon like I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns;
no one will ever live there again.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
