complete verse (Jeremiah 8:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 8:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “They treat the wounds of my people
    as if they were small wounds.
    They say, ‘Peace, peace,’
    even when there is no peace!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They do not cure seriously the wound of my people, even this is now serious. They said that everything is fine even though it is not.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They act as though the sins of my people are not serious,
    like wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged.
    They tell the people that everything will go well with them,
    but that is not true; things will not go well with them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
