Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 3:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Listen to these words you people who rule Israel.
    Listen, please you leaders of the stomach of Jacob
    You are refusing to do the truth/justice
    and you hate the matters of truth/justice.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Oh, leaders of the House of Jacob,
    oh the rulers of the House of Israel,
    oh you who hate justice and who twist the right into wrong!
    Listen well to this message!” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘You (plur.) leaders/[lit. heads] of Israel and of Juda, [you (plur.)] listen! You (plur.) despise/hate justice and distort/[lit. make-crooked] what (is) right.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You leaders of the people of Israel, listen to this!
    You hate it when people do what is just;
    and when people say what is true,
    you distort it, saying it is false.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
