Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 52:7:
- Kupsabiny: “Then (they) broke through the wall. Even though the city had been surrounded, king Zedekiah was able to escape secretly in the night with his soldiers. (They) passed alongside the garden of the king and used a path which was in between two walls and came out heading to the (broad) valley of Jordan.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Now, those from-Babilonia broke-down a portion of the wall of the city, so Zedekia and all his soldiers planned to escape. But because those-from-Babilonia has-surrounded the city, they waited until night. Then they passed-through the gate, between the two walls near the garden of the king. They fled to the Valley of Jordan,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Then the soldiers of Babylonia broke through a section of the city wall, and all the Israeli soldiers fled. But because the city was surrounded by soldiers from Babylonia, Zedekiah and the Israeli soldiers waited until it became dark. Then they left the city through the gate between the two walls behind the king’s garden. Then they ran towards the Jordan River Valley.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
