Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 22:4:
- Kupsabiny: βSo, you leave me alone to cry,
because my people have been destroyed.
I want to cry a lot,
and I do not want anyone to speak to me.β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βSo I said, "Turn away from me!
Let me weep bitterly!
Since my people have been destroyed
do not try to comfort me."β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βNow, you (plur.) let me cry for my fellowmen who have-died. You (plur.) do- not -console me.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: βThat is why I said, βAllow me to cry alone;
do not try to comfort me about my people being slaughtered.ββ (Source: Translation for Translators)
