Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 6:11:
- Kupsabiny: “These words pain me like (they do) you, oh, God
so that I can no longer endure (it).
Then God said to me,
‘Pour out the anger on the road where the children are
and where the young men have gathered.
Also the young men and women will meet with this anger,
including also the elders/leaders who have become old.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “My anger was so extreme too like the LORD and I can never hold it.’
The LORD said, ‘Cause- my anger -to-be-experienced even to the children who play in the road, to the young men who gather-together, to the husbands and to the wives, and as-well-as to the very old-ones.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “So now I am extremely angry, like Yahweh is angry,
and I cannot restrain it any longer.’
So Yahweh said to me,
‘Tell everyone that you are very angry with them.
Tell the children in the streets and the young men who gather together.
Tell the men and their wives;
tell the very old people , also.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
