Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 2:11:
- Kupsabiny: “I chose some of your children to become my prophets
and set aside your young men for my work.
Is it not like that, oh, my people of Israel?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “‘I chose prophets from your sons
and Nazarites from your young men.
Oh, people of Israel, this not true?"
says the LORD” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I even chose some of their descendants to become prophets and Nazarites/[Nazarenhon]. Is this not true, those from-Israel?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets,
and I chose others to be Nazir-men who were completely dedicated to me.
You people of Israel certainly know that what I have said is true!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
