complete verse (Jeremiah 20:17)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 20:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “because he should have killed me before I was born
    (and/so) I would die in the stomach of my mother.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “For he did not kill me when I was still in the womb of my mother. Wish the womb of my mother would have been my place-of-burial, or wish she became-pregnant with-me until whenever.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I want that to happen to him because he did not kill me before I was born.
    I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb,
    and that my mother’s body would have been like my grave.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
