Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 7:2:

• Newari: “When they had finished eating the harvest in the fields I said, "Oh Sovereign LORD forgive. How can Jacob survive? He is so small."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then the locusts ate-up all the plants, and nothing else was-left. And then I said, ‘Lord GOD, I ask-for-a-favor from you (sing.) that you (sing.) will-forgive the descendants of Jacob. How can- they -live if that punishment will-happen? They are weak and have no capability.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “And in the vision I saw those locusts come, and they ate everything that was green. Then I cried out, ‘Yahweh our Lord, please forgive us! We Israeli people are very helpless; how will we be able to survive ?/we will not be able to survive!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
