Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 62:3:
- Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
“Until when will all of you contend with a person?
Will you bring him down (to the) ground like a weak wall,
like a shaken fence?” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation) - Newari:
“How long will you continue to attack a lone person
who seems like a wall about to fall down?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon:
“All of you (plur.) who (are) my enemies, until when will- you (plur.) yet -attack me to-destroy me?
I (am) like a stone-wall about-to fall-down or a leaning fence.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - Laarim:
“Until when are you (plur.) going to fight against a person?
Would you throw him down,
who is like a fence that wants to fall?” (Source: Laarim Back Translation) - Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
“Hadi lini mtanishambulia mimi?
Je, ninyi wote mniue?
Ambaye niko kama vile ukuta ambao umeinama,
kama wigo ambao unataka kuanguka.” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation) - English:
“When will you, my enemies, stop attacking me?
I feel that I am as useless against you as a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
