complete verse (Micah 5:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 5:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying,
    ‘Bethlehem, Ephrathah,
    you are one of the small cities in Judah.
    But a seed shall sprout from you
    who shall rule Israel for me.
    His family line hails from
    people of old.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But you, Oh Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    though you are small among all the clans of Judah,
    For me, out of you a person will come
    who will rule the Israelites.
    His beginnings were in ancient times,
    from old times.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD said, ‘You (sing.), Betlehem Efrata, (is) the smallest town in Juda. But the man who will-serve me as leader of Israel, whose ancestors/[lit. old ones] (are) famous people from ancient times, will-come-from you (sing.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
