Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 8:14:
- Kupsabiny: “People who swear by idols in Samaria shall fall down and not get up again. Those people are the ones who say, ‘That idol that is worshipped in Dan is alive’ or ‘That idol that is worshipped in Beersheba is alive.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “All who swear in the name of idols in Samaria,
or those who swear in the name of the gods of Dan
and the gods of Beersheba,
will fall and never rise again."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who swear in the name of the little-gods/false-gods of Samaria, Dan, and Beersheba, you (plur.) will-be-destroyed and you (plur.) will- never -rise-up anymore.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Those who make oaths/solemnly promise to do something using the names of their shameful gods of Samaria,
and those who solemnly promise to do something using the name of the god of Dan,
and those who solemnly promise to do something using the name of the god of Beersheba,
will all die;
and they will never live again.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
