complete verse (Amos 4:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 4:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “I sent you a plague
    like that one I sent to the people of Egypt.
    I killed your young men in battle
    and I took your horses from you.
    Corpses were many in the camp
    and it smelled badly in your place.
    In spite of that,
    you did not return to me.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “‘I have sent plagues among you like
    I did in Egypt.
    I killed your young men along
    with your captured horses in war.
    The stench of death filled the air.
    yet you have not returned to me.’
    says the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I sent you (plur.) disasters/evils like what I sent to Egipto before. I had-killed your (plur.) young men in war and had- your (plur.) horses -taken-captive. And I caused- you (plur.) -to-suffer from the bad-smell of the dead-ones in your (plur.) camps. But you (plur.) still did- not -return to me. I, the Lord GOD, (am) the-(one) saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
