Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 44:17:
- Kupsabiny: “And from the portion that is left
he makes an idol that he bows to.
He bends in front of that thing to pray,
‘Save me because I trust in you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “From the rest of the wood he makes idol of his god
then bending down and paying reverence, he worships it.
And praying he speaks like this,
"you are my god! Deliver me.’"” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “And the other woods, he makes into little-gods. He kneels and worship these little-gods, and prays saying, ‘Save me, for you (sing.) are my god.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
