complete verse (Amos 6:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 6:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “But a relative of a dead person may come wanting to burn the body and bury (them). And when he is about to carry the corpse outside, he asks the person who may still remain inside, ‘Is there any other people together with you?’ That one may respond, ‘No.’ After that, the relative of the dead person will say, ‘Be quiet! We should not even mention the name of God.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The relative who is responsible for burial of the dead men will take the dead bodies out of the house. That relative will ask men who are inside the house, "is there anyone else with you?" He will answer from inside the house, "No" and will say, "be quiet, we must not mention the LORDS’s name."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The corpse/dead-body of the one who died will-be-taken by his/her relative in-order to-be-burned. And he will-ask from the one-who-hides inside the house, ‘Do you (sing.) still have others with-(you) there?’ If he will-answer none, then the man who asked will-say, ‘Keep-quiet now! For you (sing.) might even mention the name of the LORD and we (incl.) will-be-punished.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If a relative who has the task of/is responsible for burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, ‘Is there anyone here with you?’, and that person replies ‘No,’ the one who inquired will say, ‘Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, lest he cause us also to be killed!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
