Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Habakkuk 2:16:
- Kupsabiny: “A great shame catches (them) instead of them receiving honor. (They) shall drink until they stagger. God will punish (them) and dishonor (them) instead of them receiving honor.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Instead of honor and dignity there will be much shame for you who do this.
Now it is your turn! You also drink and let your nakedness be exposed!
The cup in the LORDʼs right hand has come to you,
then instead of honor and dignity you will be covered with shame.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Now in-turn you (plur.) will-be-ashamed instead of be-honored, for the LORD will- really -punish you (plur.). It-is-just-like he will-cause- you (plur.) -to-drink wine so that when you (plur.) are-already drunk your (plur.) nakedness will-be-seen/exposed and you (plur.) will-be-ashamed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
