Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 23:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “What shall I say to this city of Tyre?
    This city that was built long ago?
    This city whose people have gone
    to go and rule other faraway countries?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “What! This is your city of joyful celebration isn’t it?
    That oldest city of all.
    Whose feet enabled her to arrive by foot in a distant country
    to give her great trouble and suffering, didn’t they?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Before this city of Tyre is happy which was built-up long-time-ago, whose people-had reached the far places and invaded these places. But now what happened to her?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The people in the very old city of Tyre were previously joyful.
    Traders from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
