Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 2:4:
- Kupsabiny: “You will be ridiculed on that day,
(people) will sing about you,
‘ (They) are destroyed completely!
God has taken away their fields and given to other people.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “In that day, people hate you and will laugh at you
and will sing a song of lament regarding your situation:
‘we are totally ruined,
Our people’s treasure has been divided.
He snatched it away from us.
He has divided our fields among those who have deceived us.’"” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “In that day people will-mock you (plur.) through a very sad/mournful lament that says, ‘We (excl.) have-been- utterly -destroyed! The LORD took-(away) our (excl.) land and gave (it) to the traitors.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “At that time, your enemies will make fun of you;
they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you:
‘We are completely ruined;
Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us,
and he will give it to those who will capture us.’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
