Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nahum 2:4:
- Kupsabiny: “The young men who come in those chariots through the streets are ready to fight. They are moving forward and coming back on the open space of the city. They shine on people like torches and flash like lightning.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The chariots race along the roads,
rushing back and forth through the courtyards.
They look like burning torches
Like lightning they speed around.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Their chariots howls-strongly in the streets, rushing-back-and-forth in the plazas. They flame like a torch and flash like lightning.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

and rush furiously through the plazas.
Going as quick as lightning,
they will resemble flaming torches.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
