complete verse (Jeremiah 8:3)

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

  • Kupsabiny: “But 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: “The 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: “And all the people of this wicked nation who are still alive and whom I have exiled to other countries will say,
    ‘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)
