complete verse (Isaiah 30:22)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 30:22:

  • Kupsabiny: “You shall destroy your idols
    those made from silver and gold.
    You shall throw them far away like things that smell bad
    while saying,
    ‘Go away until you have gone completely.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Your golden idols and the gods, carved with a chisel and covered with silver, you will make unclean. To them you will throw away the cloth of menstruation [lit.: the cloth of the time when it is not OK to touch] and will speak to it like this, "You go over there!"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) will-defile your (plur.) small-gods, which are over-laid/coated with silver and gold. You (plur.) will-throw them as if a dirty cloth and will-say, ‘I do not want to see you (plur.)!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When that happens, you will destroy all your idols that are covered with silver or gold. You will throw them away like you throw away a filthy rag, and you will say to them, ‘We do not need you any more!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
