complete verse (Jeremiah 51:25)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 51:25:

  • Kupsabiny: “I hate you, oh Babylon,
    you who destroyed a whole world.
    I will do fierce/terrible things to you.
    I will catch you and push you into/over a cliff
    and I will leave you/let you be until when you have become ashes.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘I am against you, O Babilonia, you being-called Mount of Destroyer! You destroy the whole world. I will-use my power to level you and I will-burn you.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Babylonia is like a great mountain
    from which bandits descend to plunder/steal things from people all over the earth.
    But I, Yahweh, am the enemy of you people of Babylonia.
    I will raise my fist to strike you.
    I will knock you down from the cliffs
    and cause you to be only a huge pile of burned rubble.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
