complete verse (Isaiah 1:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 1:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “When you raise the hands praying,
    I turn my back to you.
    Although you have prayed much to me,
    I do not listen to you at all,
    because you have spilled blood.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When you lift your hands in prayer,
    I will not look at you.
    No matter how many times you pray,
    I will not listen,
    because your hands
    are full of blood.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘When you (plur.) pray I will- not -pay-attention to you (plur.). I will- not -listen even-though how many times you (plur.) will-pray, because you (plur.) have-killed many people.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So, when you lift up your hands when you pray to me,
    I will not even look at you.
    Even if you pray to me very frequently,
    I will not listen to you,
    because it is as though your hands are covered with the blood of people whom you have killed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
