Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 51:7:
- Kupsabiny: “Babylon was like a golden cup in my hand,
which the whole world drank from and got drunk.
The nations drank the wine
then their heads got confused!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “She is-like a golden cup in my hand filled with wine. He had-let- the nations in the whole world -drank and they were-drunk and gone-mad.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Babylon has been like a gold cup in my hand, a cup that is full of wine
that caused people all over the earth who drank some of it to become drunk.
It is as though the rulers of the nations drank the wine from Babylon,
and it caused them to become crazy.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
