Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 2:14:

Your strong warriors will become weak
and even the brave ones will not save themselves.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The fastest runner will not escape
and the strong person will not be able to use his strength
and the warrior will not be able to save himself.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Therefore even the one-who-runs fastest among you (plur.) can- not -escape, the strong-one will-become-weak, and the soldiers can- not -save/rescue themselves.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

you will not escape;
even if you are strong, it will be as though you are weak,
and warriors will be unable to save themselves.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
