Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 33:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “I the God of Israel has something to say concerning the houses that are in Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down in order for people to use them to protect themselves against the things that the enemies were piling up around the city to use them in the battle.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “For I, the LORD, the God of Israel, say: Even/Though the houses in Jerusalem and the palace of the king of Juda have been destroyed in-order to be made as defenses/things-that-give-security on the stone-walls so that the enemies could not enter,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “This is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people say you belong to, say: ‘The men in this city have torn down some of their houses, and even parts of the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up the ramps that they have built against the walls, and kill the inhabitants with their swords.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
