Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zephaniah 2:7:
- Kupsabiny: “The shore of the ocean will belong to the remainder of Judah. They will graze their animals there and rest in the evening in the houses that were abandoned in Ashkelon. It is like that because God will think about/remember his people of Judah and give them to live/stay well like it was before.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then the country of Side Sea will belong
to the remnant of the people of Judah.
there they will be for pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
because of The LORD their God
will restore their prosperity.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Your (plur.) land will-be-under-the-jurisdiction by the remaining peoples of Juda. They will-cause-to-graze their animals there, and at-night-time there they will-sleep in the houses in Askelon. The LORD their God will-remember them and he will-restore their good situation.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
