complete verse (Isaiah 17:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 17:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “A few people shall remain.
    Israel shall become like an olive tree
    when its fruits have been plucked
    so that only two or three remain
    in the height/up/top,
    and few remain,
    on the branches that are down.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “After harvest as [when] only two or three [pieces of] fruit remain on the top branches of an olive tree and
    [with] only four or five pieces of fruit remaining on the lower branches,
    Israel will be like a naked olive tree, and its few people will be left,"
    the LORD, Almighty God of Israel say’s like this.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Only few will-be-left of her people. Just like an olive tree after its fruits had-been-harvested: only two or three fruits will-be-left on the highest branches; only four or five fruits on other branches. I, the LORD Almighty, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
