Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joel 2:5:
- Kupsabiny: “When they gallop over the hill,
it sounds like carts/chariots of horses.
(It/they) comes crackling like a flaming fire
when grass is being burned.
They are like many soldiers
who are prepared for battle.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Like the sound of chariots running at the top of the hills
and the sound of fire that devours completely,
is the line-up of strong soldiers just about to depart for war.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The noise of their leaping/jumping on the top of the mountains/hills seems like chariots which are-being-driven/[lit. are-being-run] or burning straw. They (are) just like the mighty soldiers who (are) now ready to fight.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
