Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 48:17:
- Kupsabiny: “All you neighbors shall mourn over Moab,
all you who know that it was famous.
You are saying,
‘Please, the stick/scepter of power is broken
the cattle bell has been released/removed from the neck (his fame has been stripped off).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] mourn, all of you who are-allied of Moab! You (plur.) say, ‘Moab is finished! Her cane is- now -broken, the cane that symbolizes of her being-powerful and being-famous.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You people who live in nations near Moab,
who know that it is very famous,
should mourn for Moab,
and say, ‘Its glorious power is completely ended/broken.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
