complete verse (Jeremiah 7:18)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 7:18:

  • Kupsabiny: “The children are picking firewood, the fathers lighting the fire, and the women, they mix flour which is used to make bread for that idol like a woman, the ruler of heaven/up, the one the people of Babylon are worshipping. And again, they pour out wine (as a sacrifice) to idols causing me pain.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The children are-gathering-woods, the fathers are-lighting fire, and the women are-kneading flour, in-order to make bread for the Queen of Heaven. They also offer drinks to the other gods to provoke- me -to-anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The children gather firewood
    and their fathers use it to make fires on the altars to burn sacrifices.
    The women knead/make dough to make cakes to offer to their goddess Astarte who is called the Queen of Heaven.
    And on their altars they pour out offerings of wine to their other idols.
    All of those things cause me to become extremely angry!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
