complete verse (Jeremiah 6:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 6:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “Those things that smell sweet from Sheba are of no consequence,
    or the uuti (aloe) that comes from far.
    Those sacrifices that are burned completely are not acceptable,
    and I am not happy with your things that you sacrifice to me.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “There is no value to me the incense they offer which is come from Sheba, or the perfumes that came from a distant place. I will- not -accept their burnt offerings. Their offerings have- not -pleased me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You Israeli people, when you burn frankincense that came from far away in Sheba,
    and when you offer to me sweet-smelling anointing oil that came from far away,
    I will not be pleased with your sacrifices.
    I will not accept the sacrifices that are completely burned on the altar;
    I am not pleased with any of your sacrifices.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
