Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 49:8:
- Kupsabiny: “You run away, oh, people of Dedan
and go and hide in the caves,
because I am going to destroy the descendants of Esau
when I punish them.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who live in Dedan you flee and hide in deep caves. For I will-send destruction the descendants of Esau in the time that I will-punish them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You people of Dedan city in the south of Edom,
turn and flee and hide in deep caves,
because when I cause the Edom people-group to experience disaster,
I will punish you, too.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
