complete verse (Amos 9:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 9:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “This matter is what the God of authority will do. He shall push the earth to shake it. And then all the people who live there shall feel the consequences/suffer. The whole world/land/earth will rise up and sink down like the river Nile.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD God Almighty, he is the one who touches the earth and it melts,
    all who live there mourn.
    The earth will rise up like the Nile River flood time,
    and fall down water like the river of Egypt.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Amos still/continued to say, ‘If/When the Lord GOD Almighty touches the land/ground, it shakes and all its residents cry/weep. This shaking is like the high-tide and low-tide of the Nile River in Egipto.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts,
    and all over the earth many people die, and the others mourn for them.
    It is as though Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall
    like the Nile River rises and falls.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
