complete verse (Amos 5:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 5:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “The virgin Israel has fallen
    so that she is unable to get up by herself.
    (She) lies spread out on the ground
    but there is no person who is helping (her) to get up.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “‘The Virgin Israel has fallen to the point
    that she will not get up anymore.
    She has been abandoned in her own county.
    There is no one to raise her up.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Israel, who is like a virgin lady, was-destroyed and will- never -rise-up again.
    She was-abandoned/forsaken in her land and no one at-all/else can-raise- her -up.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘You are like a young woman,
    but in spite of that, you will certainly be struck down
    and you will never get up again!
    You will lie on the ground, abandoned,
    and there will be no one to help you stand up.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
