complete verse (Jeremiah 9:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 9:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “A person cheats/deceives his friend
    not even one (person) still speaks the truth.
    (They) have taught their tongues to lie,
    and their sin/rebellion has enveloped/engulfed those people.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Each one deceives his fellowman, and no one is telling the truth. Their tongues were used to lie, and they wear-out themselves to sin.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They deceive their friends
    and never tell the truth.
    They lie continually and, because of that, they have become skilled liars;
    they do one oppressive thing after another, and are unable to stop doing it.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
