Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zechariah 11:2:
- Kupsabiny: “Let the cypresses scream
because those big cedars have fallen.
Let the oaks of Bashan wail
because the forest has been felled.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Weep, you pine trees! For the cedars have fallen.
Tall and beautiful trees have fallen.
Howl, oh you oaks of Bashan,
the trees of the dense forest have been felled.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “And now that the beautiful and thickest trees of cedar were-ruined, the cypress trees will- also -be-ruined and the oak/terebinto trees of Bashan.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
