complete verse (Jeremiah 30:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 30:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “Ask yourselves today, so you can understand.
    Can a man really bear a child?
    What has happened that I see every strong warrior/young man
    having laid hands on the waist
    like a woman who is in labor,
    and the face frowning?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now I have a question for you (plur.). Can men give-birth? So, why have I seen men who are pale and hold their belly/stomach as a woman who is in-labor?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But think about this:
    Men certainly do not give birth to babies.
    Therefore, why do strong men stand there,
    with their faces very white/pale,
    with their hands pressed against their stomachs,
    like women who are about to give birth to babies?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
