Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 1:4:
- Kupsabiny: “The hills under him shall melt
and the ridges be split/divided,
like bee’s wax that fire has caused to evaporate
or like water that rushes down a mountain side.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The mountains will melt beneath him,
and the valleys will be divided into two.
The mountains will melt like wax in a fire,
the rocks will fall down like water fall down a steep slope.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The mountains that he will-step-on/tread-on will-melt like a candle in the fire, and the valleys/plains that he will-step-on/tread-on will-form-a-depression like the passage-way of water that flows from a slope.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
