complete verse (Isaiah 45:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 45:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying to the people of Israel,
    ‘The riches of Egypt shall become yours
    and the things of Cush shall become yours.
    And those tall people of Seba,
    shall come to where you are
    to become your slaves.
    They shall follow you as tied up/prisoners
    and bow before you.
    They shall pray saying,
    ‘You alone are together with God
    and there is no other God.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD says like this,
    "The products of the land of Egypt,
    the business of the land of Cush
    and those large people of Seba
    those nations will come to your place,
    and they will be yours.
    They will come following you in chains.
    They will bow down before you
    and confess,
    ‘Surely God is with you, and there is no other;
    there is no other god.’ ’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD says to Israel, ‘Those whose of/from-Egipto and those whose of/from-Etiopia, will-be-under- your (sing.) -jurisdiction, as-well-as those whose of/from-Seba whose men are tall. They will-come-near to you (plur.) bringing their wealth and products. They will-become your (sing.) captives. They will-kneel to you (sing.) and will-ask-for-mercy saying, ‘(It is) true that God is with you (sing.) and he alone is God!’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
