Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 52:4:
- Kupsabiny: “So, Nebuchadnezzar went to raid/fight Zedekiah. His soldiers arrived on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year of the rulership of Zedekiah and surrounded Jerusalem. Those people heaped up things like hills to surround the wall of that city so that they could climb on them to get inside and fight the battle.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Therefore on the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babilonia and his entire soldiers attacked Jerusalem. They camped outside the city and piled-up the ground/earth at the side of the wall so that there they will-pass-by to enter the town.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So, on January 15, when Zedekiah had been ruling for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon led his entire army to attack Jerusalem. They surrounded the city and built dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls to enable them to attack the city.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
