Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 22:15:
- Kupsabiny: “So when you have built houses with cedar
does that make you a king?
Did your father not eat and drink?
He did words of justice and was righteous,
so everything was good/acceptable for him.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Are- you (sing.) -thinking that you (sing.) will-become a famous king if your (sing.) palace is cedar? Why don’t you (sing.) follow your (sing.) father? What he did was right and just, so he became-successful and his way-of-living was well.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
