Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 4:8:
- Kupsabiny: “People from one city wandered to another city
looking for water
and did not find enough to drink.
In spite of that,
they did not return to me.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “People stagger from city to city for water
but they never get enough to drink.
Though that was the case
yet you have not returned to me,’
says the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Because of weakness you (plur.) stagger to look for water from one town going to another town, but what you (plur.) get is not enough. But again you (plur.) did- not -return to me. I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
