Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 16:4:
- Kupsabiny: “Bad sicknesses will kill (them), and no one will mourn or bury them. Their bodies will be heaped like dung in the land. Sword and famine will destroy those people and birds of prey and wild animals will eat their corpses.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “They will-die from terrible diseases. No one will-mourn or bury them. Their corpses will-scatter on the grazing-field like dung. Some of them will-die from war and from famine, and their corpses will-be-eaten by the birds and wild animals.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Many of them will die from terrible diseases. And no one will mourn for them. No one will even bury their corpses; the corpses will lie on the ground, scattered like manure. Others will die in wars or from hunger, and then their corpses will become food for vultures and wild animals.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
