Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 48:38:
- Kupsabiny: “Only the mourning of people is heard from
the roofs of all the houses of Moab
and where many people are sitting
there is no other thing,
because I have crushed the land of Moab
like a potsherd that is no longer wanted.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The people are crying on the rooftops of their homes and in the plasa, for I destroyed Moab like a jar that has-broken that no one wants anymore.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be people who are mourning,
because I will have destroyed Moab
like someone smashes an old jar that no one wants any more.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
