Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nahum 2:13:
- Kupsabiny: “The God of power is saying, ‘I am your (sing.) enemy. I shall burn your chariots and your soldiers will be killed in battle. Never again shall you plunder things from other countries and your people shall not again take revenge while going to persecute people of other countries.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The LORD Almighty says,
"I am against you,
I will burn your chariots
and there will be nothing but smoke.
And young lions will be killed by the sword.
I will not leave any prey for you.
I will leave you no prey on the earth.
The voice of the messengers that bring you news
will no longer be heard."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “For the LORD Almighty says, ‘Listen you (plur.) (who-)come-from-Nineve! I (am) against you (plur.)! Therefore I will-burn your (plur.) chariots and your (plur.) soldiers will-die in battle. I will-stop now your (plur.) victimizing in the world. You (plur.) no-longer can-send messengers to other nations to tell/speak to them what you (plur.) want to be-fulfilled by them.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The Commander of the armies of angels says to the people of Nineveh,
‘I am opposed to you;
I will cause your chariots to be burned in fires and go up in smoke.
Your young men will be killed with swords.
Your soldiers will never again conquer other nations
and seize their valuable possessions.
Your messengers will never again take messages to other nations, demanding that their armies surrender to them.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
