Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joel 2:7:
- Kupsabiny: “They run like (young) men of war,
climb the wall like soldiers.
They march with pride
and do not stray aside when they come.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “They attack like mighty warriors.
And they climb walls like soldiers do.
They walk in proper order
and they don’t break the line.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They attack and climb-up/go-up the stone-walls like soldiers. They walk straight-ahead and do- not -turn-to-one-side-or-the-other on their path. They do- not -jostle-each-other; and even-if they encounter weapons-of-war they do- not -scatter.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
