complete verse (Jeremiah 2:37)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 2:37:

  • Kupsabiny: “You shall be coming back from there
    with your heads bowed in shame.
    I God have refused those people that you trust in,
    who cannot save you in any way.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) will-be-caused-to-leave from this land with your (plur.) hands upon your (plur.) heads in great sorrow. For I have-rejected the nations whom you (plur.) trust. These nations could- not -help you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They will capture you, and you will be their prisoners ,
    led to Egypt, very ashamed with your hands on your heads.
    That will happen because I, Yahweh, have rejected those nations that you are relying on,
    and they will not be able to help you at all.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
