Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zephaniah 2:2:
- Kupsabiny: “Do like that when you still have a chance before the day arrives in which you will be accused and destroyed. Repent before God finishes you in his anger that is fierce.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “before the judgment begins,
before your time to repent is blown away like chaff,
before the LORD’s anger comes upon you,
before the day of the LORD’s wrath come upon you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “before will-come/arrive the appointed time that you (plur.) will-be-driven far-away like chaff which (are) blown-away. You (plur.) repent before the LORD reveals/shows his great anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
