Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 5:7:
- Kupsabiny: “Oh, people of Israel!
You are the ones who go astray from the truth
and throw away the matters of righteousness.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “You pervert justice and turn it into bitterness,
and throw righteousness to the dust.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) are-to-be-pitied! Justice which (is) good you (plur.) turn-into-bad and you (plur.) consider-as-nothing/give-no-value-to what-is-just.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You people distort what is fair/right and cause people to think that it is something that is very bitter;
you treat good things as though they are evil.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
