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)
