complete verse (Isaiah 1:7)

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

  • Kupsabiny: “Your land is falling apart,
    and your cities are burned.
    Your land is being eaten while you look,
    and strangers give the food to themselves.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Your country has become deserted (haunted).
    Your cities have been burned.
    Before your very [eyes],
    foreigners have plundered
    and destroyed your fields.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Your (plur.) nation became a lonely-place; your (plur.) cities have-been-burned. While you (plur.) are-watching/looking, those who came-from-other places take the fruits of the plants from your (plur.) farms. They destroy your (plur.) land until it no longer is-of-worth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “It is as though your country is ruined/desolate;
    your towns have been burned.
    Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch;
    they destroy everything that they see.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
