Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 38:15:
- Kupsabiny: “Now what shall I still say?
You alone have done this.
All my sleep died from me
because of the pain I have.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “But now, what can I say?
He has talked with me and he has done like this,
by reason of the anxiety for my life
I will be humble until the end of my life.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But what can I still say? For he already answered me and he himself is the one who healed me. I will-live in humbleness because of the bitterness that I experienced.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But there was really nothing that I could say and ask him to reply to me,
because it was Yahweh who sent this illness.
So now I will live humbly during my remaining years
because I am very anguished.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
