Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 2:7:
- Kupsabiny: “They defeat weak people
and withhold truth/justice from the poor.
A man and his father slept with one/the same girl,
and by that they mock my name that is holy.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “They trample on the head
of the poor as they trample the dust of the ground.
They do not provide justice to the oppressed.
Father and son go to same woman
and profane my holy name.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They oppress the poor-ones and do- not -give them justice. (It is) happening there among them that a father and his male child are-having-sex with only one woman. Because of this they are-shaming my holy name.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “It is as though they trample the poor people into the dirt
and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly.
Men and their fathers dishonor me by both having sex with the same slave girl.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
