Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zechariah 9:12:
- Kupsabiny: “But you prisoners who have hope,
return to your trenches/safe places.
I am today telling you that
I shall give you many things surpassing those that were taken from you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Return to your strongholds, you prisoners of hope.
Now I tell you ‘Instead of your suffering,
I will give you a double portion of the blessing."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who (are) captured who are-hoping to be free, you (plur.) return now to your (plur.) fortified places. Now I am-saying to you (plur.) that I will-repay/return double of what you (plur.) have-lost.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
