Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 1:5:
- Kupsabiny: “All these things shall happen on account of the sins of Israel
and the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob.
But where are the sins of Israel seen?
Is it not the city of Samaria?
Where are idols worshipped in Judah?
Is it not in the city of Jerusalem?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “All this happened because of the transgression of Jacob
and the sins of the house of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
is it not Samaria?
Where are Judah’s pagan shrines?
Is it not Jerusalem?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “All of this will-happen because the people of Israel and of Juda have-sinned. The ones from-Samaria are the ones (who) are-pushing the other residents of Israel to-commit-sin. The ones (who) come-from-Jerusalem are the ones (who) are-pushing the other residents of Juda to-worship little-gods/idols/diminutive-gods.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
