complete verse (Jeremiah 4:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 4:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “This is painful!
    I cannot endure it any more.
    My stomach has broken seriously (I am shocked)
    and my heart is jumping amazingly fast in me
    and I am unable to keep silent.
    I am hearing horns
    and the noise of war.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘My anguish/pain is extreme. I can- not -bear it! My groaning is too much. My chest is-pounding and I can- not -be-still. For I heard the sound of the trumpet and the shout of the enemy.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I am extremely anguished/sad;
    the pain in my inner being is very severe.
    My heart beats wildly.
    But I cannot remain silent
    because I have heard our enemies blowing their trumpets
    to announce that the battle against Judah will start immediately.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
