Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 36:16:
- Kupsabiny: “But those people continued to abuse those messengers of God. They discarded the words of God and laughed at his prophets. In the end, God was angry with his people so much that he finally made a decision to destroy (them) in a way that nothing could be done about it.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “But they ridiculed God’s messengers [and] had no concern for his word. [They] did not desist from ridiculing his prophets. God became very angry with his people. So there was no way to deliver [them].” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But they mocked the prophets of God, laughed-at, and their messages were-not-given-any-attention. So the LORD was-angry with them, and no one can-stop him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
