complete verse (Jeremiah 19:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 19:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “(They) shall be destroyed like Topheth, the houses of Jerusalem, those of the rulers of Judah and all the houses where incense was burned on their roofs to the stars and vine was poured out as a sacrifice to the idols.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Yes, (all) the houses in Jerusalem, including the palaces of the kings of Juda, will-be-considered dirty like Tofet. On the roof of these houses the people burned incense for their gods which are stars, and offered drink offering for the other gods.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The houses in Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will be desecrated like this place will be. All the houses where you burned incense on the rooftops to honor the stars that you worshiped, and where you poured out wine to be an offering to your gods, will become desecrated/unacceptable places for people to worship me.’’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
