Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zephaniah 2:13:
- Kupsabiny: “And again, God will fight against the countries of the North and destroy Assyria. After that he shall destroy the city of Nineveh completely to become a dry land.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “He will lift up hand in the direction of north,
and destroy Assyria.
He will desolate Nineveh
and dry as the desert.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘I will- also -punish those- (who) -come-from-Asiria who (are) in the north. Nineve will-be-lonely/desolate and will-become like a desert.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
