complete verse (Isaiah 44:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 44:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “And/or also a carpenter
    carves the picture of an idol.
    And then, he forms that thing
    to be like a person and beautifies it
    so it can stay/sit where it is to be prayed to.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The wood carver measures a piece of wood and draws a pattern on it.
    He uses chisel and shapes it,
    and mark it with a compass,
    he carves it into a beautiful human figure,
    that it may dwell in a shrine.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The carpenter of wood measures a piece of the wood. He draws (it) with a face of a little-gods, and then he cuts/forms (it) by-means of his tools. He forms it in a beautiful face of a man in-order to place/put in a temple.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
