Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 4:3:
- Kupsabiny: “God will advise/judge the communities
and he will judge (arbitrate) many nations.
People will make swords to become ploughs of oxen,
and/or spears to become sickles.
Never again will countries fight,
and soldiers shall not prepare themselves for war.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “He will judge among many people
and he will resolve the disputes of strong nations far and wide.
They beat their sword with hammers to make ploughshares
and they beat their spears to make sickles.
There will not be any disputes among nations
And no one will be there to teach warfare.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “And through his Law, he will-settle/solve the disputes of many nations, even those mighty nations far away. Therefore the nations will- no-longer -fight-one-another, and they also will- no-longer -train people to fight. They will- just -make- their swords -into the end/tip of plowshares and they will- now -make- their spears -into something-for-cutting-off-(like-branches).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Yahweh will settle disputes between many people,
and he will also settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away.
Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades,
and hammer their spears to cause them to become pruning knives.
Armies of nations will no longer fight against armies of other nations,
and they will no longer train men how to fight in wars.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
