complete verse (Amos 4:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 4:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying,
    ‘I destroyed some of you
    as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
    Those who remained among you were like
    a piece of wood that was burning but then snatched away.
    In spite of that,
    you did not return to me.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “‘I destroyed many of you like
    I did destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
    You were like burning coals pulled from the fire,
    yet you have not returned to me,’
    says the LORD” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘I destroyed some of you (plur.) like what I did to Sodom and Gomora. And some of you (plur.) who were-able-to-escape as-if like a wood which has-been-snatched-away from the fire. But you (plur.) still did- not -return to me. I, the Lord GOD, am-saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
