Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zephaniah 1:8:
- Kupsabiny: “God is saying, ‘I will punish the leaders of Judah together with the sons of the king and all the people who follow religious ceremonies of the communities that do not know God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “‘On that day of sacrifice
I will punish the officials
and the king’s sons
and all those are who wearied foreign clothes
who follow pagan customs.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “On that day that I will-kill the ones- (who)-come-from-Juda like an animal which (is) to-be-offered. I will-punish their officers and the children of their king, and all of them who follow the wicked ways-of-living of those- (who) -come-from-other nation.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
