complete verse (Zechariah 10:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zechariah 10:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “The idols are speaking (a) lie
    and witch-doctors are cheating people.
    The words that those people who tell/show dreams speak are not true.
    The comfort they give is useless/empty.
    So people wander around like sheep that are lost.
    They suffer because they do not have their shepherd.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The idols speak deceit,
    diviners see false visions.
    interpreters of dream tell lies
    that give no comfort.
    So my people are scattered like lost sheep.
    They suffer without a Shepherd.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Truly, you (plur.) can-not believe the idols and the fortunetellers. They tell wrong interpretation of dreams. The comfort they give is worthless. That’s why the people of Israel wander just like sheep. They had a hard-time because they don’t have a leader.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
