complete verse (Jeremiah 43:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 43:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “He will destroy those stones that were raised/put up in that house where the sun is worshipped and other houses in every place where idols are worshipped in Egypt and make it desolate.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He will-destroy the considered-holy polls/pillars in Heliopolis in Egipto. He will- certainly/surely -burn the temples of the little-gods/false-gods in Egipto.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt. But before they burn the temples, they will take away their idols as souvenirs. His troops will clean Egypt like a shepherd cleans lice from his cloak. They will tear down the sacred pillars that are in the temple of their sun god. And then Nebuchadnezzar’s troops will leave there, without having been harmed.’ ’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
