Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 8:5:
- Kupsabiny: βWhy are these people so stubborn
and why will Jerusalem always be stubborn?
They cling to their idols/gods
and refuse to return to me!β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βSo, why you (plur.) who-come-from Jerusalem continue to turn-away from me? Why you (plur.) can- not -leave the little-gods/false-gods who cheat you (plur.) and return to me?β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: βYes, they do, so why do these people of Judah continue trusting in those idols that have deceived them?
They continue turning away from me,
even though I have warned them.β (Source: Translation for Translators)
