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)
