Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joel 1:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “I am crying out to you, oh God,
    because the locusts have finished the grazing/pasture.
    That swarm of locusts have destroyed the trees in the field
    to be like when a fire has burned.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “O LORD, I cry to you for help!
    Because fire has burned up the pastures of the wilderness.
    The flames have burned up all the trees of the forest.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Joel prayed. He said, ‘I call-upon you (sing.), LORD, for the grazing-area and all the trees in the fields have-withered as-if devoured by fire.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
