Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 1:6:
- Kupsabiny: “So/Therefore God is saying,
‘Samaria shall be destroyed to become deserted.
It shall become a place for planting vines.
I shall push the stones used to build it into (a/the) valley
and I shall be beating on its foundations.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Therefore, I will make Samaria a heap of stones
a field for planting vineyards.
I will throw its stones down into the valley
and I will uncover its foundations. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “So the LORD says, ‘I will-destroy Samaria and this will- no-longer -be-inhabited/dwelled-in but-rather only will-be-planted with grapes. I will-cause- her rocks -to-roll towards the valley/plains until its foundations come-out/appear.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
