Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 23:9:
- Kupsabiny: “But concerning the prophets,
my stomach/heart is hurting.
I am trembling much
and I am like a drunkard
whom beer is ruling,
on account of God and his holy words.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “As-if my heart is-going-to-break because of the lying prophets. My bones are-shaking/trembling, and as-if I am drunk because of the holy message of the LORD against them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I am very shocked because of the sacred message that Yahweh has spoken about what will happen to the false prophets;
it is as though all my bones shake.
I stagger like a man who is drunk
after drinking a lot of wine.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
