Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Amos 9:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying, ‘People of Israel, are you not like the people of Cush? Am I not the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt? Is it not me who brought the Philistines from Crete and the Arameans from Kir?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Oh Israelites,
    for me you are like the children of Cush,
    says the LORD.
    "Did I not bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt?
    and the Philistines from Caphtor
    and the Arameans from Kir?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD said, ‘The way- I -look-at you (plur.) from-Israel is just the same-as those from-Etiopia. (It is) true that I had-caused- you (plur.) -to-come-out of Egipto, but I also had-caused-to-come-out of Caphtor the Filistinhon and (out) of Kir the Arameanhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “And Yahweh says, ‘You people of Israel,
    you are certainly now no more important to me than the people of Ethiopia.
    I brought your ancestors here from Egypt,
    but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete Island,
    and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir region.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
