complete verse (Jeremiah 9:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 9:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then I said,
    ‘Crying is heard from Zion that says,
    ‘We are going to be completely destroyed!
    What a great shame has come to us!
    Surely we shall migrate from our land,
    because our houses have fallen and are ruined!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Listen to the wailing in Jerusalem. The people say, ‘We (incl.) are destroyed! This that happened to us (incl.) is shameful! We (incl.) need to leave our land for our (incl.) houses have been-destroyed.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Listen to the people of Jerusalem crying/lamenting, saying,
    ‘We have been ruined/destroyed!
    We have experienced a terrible disaster!
    Now we are very ashamed,
    because our houses have been destroyed by our enemies, and we are being forced to leave our land.’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
