complete verse (Jeremiah 8:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 8:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “Listen to the cries of my people,
    they come from all over the country.
    Those people are crying,
    ‘Is God not in Zion?
    Is its king no longer there?’ ’
    God said,
    ‘But these people made me angry
    over the idols that they are worshipping
    those of other countries, (didn’t they)?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Listen to the weeping of my fellowmen; this can-be-heard in the whole land. They say, ‘Is the LORD no longer in Jerusalem? Is God the King of Jerusalem is no longer there?’ The LORD replied, ‘Why did- you (plur.) -provoke- me -to-anger by worshiping worthless little-gods?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
