complete verse (Micah 7:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 7:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “Oh, dear me, I am like a person who is hungry (famine is eating me)
    and I do not get anything to eat.
    The grapes and figs have been plucked/harvested
    until everything in the field is finished.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “what misery is mine!
    because I feel like a man
    who goes to pick fruit after the harvest.
    Who does not find anything to eat,
    Not even a cluster of grapes for his hunger
    nor an early fig to satisfy his hunger.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Micas said, ‘Woe to me! I (am) like a hungry man looking for the leftover fruits of the grape or fig but he found nothing.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
