Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 4:1:
- Kupsabiny: “Listen to these words, oh, women of Samaria.
Listen, you who have grown fat like the cows of Bashan.
You persecute the poor/orphans
and suppress the weak.
You dishonor your husbands and are saying,
‘We want beer.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Listen to this word, O fat cows of Bashan living on the hill of Samaria,
you women who oppress to the poor people and crush the needy.
You who say to your husbands, "bring us something to drink!"” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who are honorable women of Samaria, you (plur.) are like the cows of Bashan which are well taken-care-of. You (plur.) oppress and treat-with-harshness the poor-ones, and you (plur.) even command your (plur.) husbands to bring you (plur.) drinks. Therefore you (plur.) listen to this” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
