complete verse (Nahum 3:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nahum 3:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “The God of power is saying, ‘I shall punish you Nineveh! I shall expose you for communities to see you being naked.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD Almighty announces:
    "I am against you. I will lift your sari up to you face.
    I will show your nakedness to nations
    and your shame to kingdoms.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, the LORD Almighty says, ‘Listen you (plur.) who come-from-Nineve! I (am) against you (plur.)! Therefore I will-put- you (plur.) -to-shame towards other nations and kingdoms like a woman whose dress was-lifted-up till (her) head and her nakedness was-seen.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So the Commander of the armies of angels says to the people of Nineveh:
    ‘I am your enemy,
    and I will cause the people in other nations to see you completely humiliated
    like women who have committed adultery are humiliated by having their skirts lifted high,
    with the result that people can see their naked bodies.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
