Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 3:19:
- Kupsabiny: “I wanted to welcome/receive you Israel to be my child
and I gave you a beautiful land,
where it was more beautiful than the whole world.
I wanted that you call me father
and never abandon me.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I myself have-said, ‘I am be very pleased to consider you (plur.) my children and give a good land, which is the most-beautiful inheritance in the whole world.’ I thought you (plur.) will-call me ‘Father’ and you (plur.) no longer turn-away from me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You people of Israel, I wanted to accept you to be my children.
I wanted to give you this delightful land.
It is a land more desirable/pleasant than the land of any other nation!
I wanted you to call me ‘father’,
and I wanted you to never turn away from me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
