Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joel 1:4:
- Kupsabiny: “Locusts threw themselves onto the crops.
One finished the food that the other had left.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “What the cutting locusts left; the swarming locusts have eaten.
What the swarming locusts left, the hopping locusts have eaten,
and what the hopping locusts left,
the destroying locusts have eaten.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “One-after-another/[lit. follow-follow], the swarm/[lit. large-group] of locusts attacked. The remaining plants that were- not -finished-up by one swarm/[lit. large-group] (of locust) were- again -eaten by the next swarm/[lit. large-group] until the plants were-finished-up.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “The locusts have replaced-one-another in destroying the plants. What the ones-that-preceded left-behind, those-that-took-their-place finished-off (lit. used-up).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
