Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 44:14:
- Kupsabiny: “A man cuts down cedars to work with them
or teak trees or oak trees in the forest.
He may plant a tree
and wait for the rain so that it grows.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “He cuts down cedars
or pine trees or oak trees to make idol
or he might plant cedar tree
and waits for the rain to make it grow.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “In-order-to have him a wood to-use, he cuts cedar, or cypress, or an oak/[terebinto]. He causes- these trees -to-grow in the forest. He also plants pine tree, and through the rain it grows.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
