Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Habakkuk 1:11:
- Kupsabiny: “and sweep out everything from the city like a wind while doing sin. They trust in their strength only rather than in God.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then like a storm sweeping through they are gone.
They are guilty people, their own strength is their god."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “After-that they will-leave just as-if-like a wind that passed-by. They sinned, for they do-not-have other serving-as-god but only their ability.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then they hurry to leave-going-out-of-sight like the wind. They have-sinned, because they trust in their own strength as if that is their god.’” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- English: “It is as though the stones in the walls of your houses cry out to accuse you,
and it is as though the beams in your ceilings also say the same things.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
