Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 18:17:
- Kupsabiny: “I will scatter these people in front of their enemies,
like the wind from the East pushes the dust.
I shall turn my back on those people,
that day when calamity shall come to them.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I will-scatter them before/[lit. in front of] their enemies, like dust being-blown by the wind from the east. I will-turn-my-back on them and won’t help in time of their destruction.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will scatter the people when their enemies attack them
like dust is scattered by an east wind.
And when they experience all those difficulties/disasters,
I will turn my back on them and refuse to help them.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
