Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 5:31:
- Kupsabiny: “Some prophets are speaking lies,
also the priests are doing as they like,
and my people do not rebuke (them).
Hey, what will you (plur.) do when the end has come?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The prophets prophesy lies. The priests rule only by their own authority. And my people love/like it. But what will- they -do if the end will- now -come?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Prophets speak only lies
and priests rule by their own authority,
and you people like that!
But when you start to experience disasters, what will you do ?’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
