Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 3:5:

• Kupsabiny: “Does a bird swoop down in a snare if/when it has not been baited/set? Does a trap snap by itself if there is nothing that has made the trigger snap?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Does a sparrow fall into a snare on the field without there being a snare in the field?
  Does a snare a spring up from the field when there is nothing caught in it?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Does- a bird -get-trapped if a snare has- not -been-set-for-it? Does- a trap/snare -snap if it has-trapped nothing?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
