Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joel 1:5:
- Kupsabiny: “Wake up and cry oh, you drunkards.
Let those who are drinking wine shout loudly.
Shout (plur.) on account of the sweet wine
because those vine plants the wine was made from are finished.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Hey you drunkards, wake up and cry out loud!
All you who drink wine wail!
Because from now on the wine will not reach your mouth.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who (are) drunkards, [you (plur.)] rise-up and cry loudly! For you (plur.) have-nothing to-drink now; no more grapes to be-made into new wine.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Wake-up/Get-up you drunkards! Cry, because the grapes that they would have used to make new alcoholic-beverage (wine, beer, or commercial liquor; the word for rice-wine does not collocate with grapes) have already been ruined.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
