complete verse (Jeremiah 16:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 16:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not enter any house where people are mourning or go and mourn or show mercy to those people. I will not give/bless my people with peace or love and mercy.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD still said, ‘You (sing.) do not enter a house where there is someone who mourns for the dead. You (sing.) do not mourn or show your (sing.) compassion for anyone. For I already taken-out my blessing, love, and mercy from these people.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “This is also what Yahweh said to me: ‘Do not go to funerals to mourn or to show those whose relatives have died that you feel sorry for them, because I have stopped protecting them, and I have caused that things will not go well for them. I have stopped faithfully loving them and acting mercifully toward them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
