Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joel 1:19:
- Kupsabiny: “I am crying out to you, oh God,
because the locusts have finished the grazing/pasture.
That swarm of locusts have destroyed the trees in the field
to be like when a fire has burned.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “O LORD, I cry to you for help!
Because fire has burned up the pastures of the wilderness.
The flames have burned up all the trees of the forest.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Joel prayed. He said, ‘I call-upon you (sing.), LORD, for the grazing-area and all the trees in the fields have-withered as-if devoured by fire.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
