Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 8:3:

  • Kupsabiny: β€œBut all my people who are left alive/remain in the lands they have scattered to will prefer death rather than life. I the God of power is speaking.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: β€œThe remaining who are alive out of this wicked nation I will-scatter into the other nations, and there they prefer to die than to live. I, the LORD Almighty, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: β€œAnd all the people of this wicked nation who are still alive and whom I have exiled to other countries will say,
    β€˜We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive here in these countries.’
    That will be true because I, Yahweh, have said it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
