Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Habakkuk 2:15:
- Kupsabiny: “How bad it is for a person who makes his neighbors drink beer to make them drunk so that he can see them stay naked.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink wine.
In his anger, he forces them to become drunk
so he can shame them by staring at their nakedness. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘ ‘You (plur.) are-to-be-pitied! For in your (plur.) anger you (plur.) put-to-shame your (plur.) neighboring nations. It-is-just-like you (plur.) drunk them with wine so that you (plur.) can see their nakedness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
