Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 6:6:
- Kupsabiny: “You are drinking much wine
and again you anoint yourselves with expensive oils,
and you do not cry over the death of the house of Joseph.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “You drink wine in large bowls,
you rub the fragrant oil,
but you are not grieved over the destruction of Joseph’s descendants.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) are-to-be-pitied who (are) very-fond of drinking wine and using expensive perfumes, but do- not -mourn for the coming destruction of your (plur.) nation.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
