Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 22:7:
- Kupsabiny: “I will send people to come with axes
and (they) will go and tear down everything.
They shall fell the beautiful cedars
and then throw (them) in the fire.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I will-send-to you (sing.) people who will-destroy you (sing.). Each one of them has tools to cut-down your (sing.) cedar pillars, and then they will-throw them into the fire.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will summon enemy troops who will destroy this palace;
each of their soldiers will use his own tools to wreck the building.
They will cut into pieces the beautiful big cedar beams
and throw them into a fire.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
