Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 18:22:
- Kupsabiny: “Let screams come from their houses
when you make enemies suddenly raid them,
because they have dug for me a hole so as to catch me
and they have set a trap to catch me.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Let- them -scream in terror if you (sing.) suddenly have- their houses -attacked by the enemies. For they dug a pit so-that I will-fall, and put a trap so-that I will-be-trapped.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Cause people to scream in their homes
when enemy soldiers suddenly come into their houses!
Cause all those things to happen to them because they want to kill me.
It is as though they have dug a pit for me to fall into,
and they have hidden traps along my path.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
