Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 9:9:
- Kupsabiny: “Should I not punish them for these matters?
Should I desist from avenging these matters
on a community that has done these matter?
It is I God who has spoken.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “So, should I not punish them because of this? Should I not avenge a nation like this? I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Should I not punish them for doing that ?
Yes, I should certainly get revenge on/give what they deserve to the people of a nation that does things like that!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
