Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 11:4:
- Kupsabiny: “that I gave your forefathers when I led them out of the land of Egypt, that land of pain.’ I said to them, ‘You must obey/respect me and do all that I have told you, then, I shall make you my people and I shall be your God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “These regulations I caused-to-be-followed by your (plur.) ancestors when I caused- them -to-come-out of Egipto, the place like a blazing furnace where iron is melted. I said to them, ‘If you (plur.) will-obey me and all of my commands, you (plur.) will-become my people and I will- become your (plur.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were living in a hot furnace. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. I also told them that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
