Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 5:5:
- Kupsabiny: “He is the one who brings peace.
When the people of Assyria attack our land
and try to break through our guarded cities,
we shall send sufficient leaders
to go and fight those people.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “From him only, peace will be theirs.
When the Assyrians invade our country,
and are attacking our fortresses,
then we will send seven shepherds
or eight leaders to fight against them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “He will-give his people a good-situation.
When those (who) come-from-Asiria attack our (incl.) nation and they enter the very firm/strong/sturdy parts of our (incl.) city, let- us (incl.) -fight against them being-led well by our (incl.) leaders/[lit. heads].” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
