complete verse (Isaiah 24:16)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 24:16:

  • Kupsabiny: “Singing in faraway countries shall be heard,
    the righteous God shall be praised.
    But I am saying,
    ‘I am getting lost, oh please. Woe to me!
    Liars shall continue to speak lies,
    and liars shall be deceiving a lot.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “[As for] those who live far away on earth,
    we will get to hear [their] voices singing, "the glory of the righteous LORD."
    But as for me, I do not even have any hope, I have become dried up.
    Alas to me!
    The treacherous will betray!
    Those who betray will, by betraying, perpetuate treachery!” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “It can-be-heard even in fardest part of the world which sings, ‘Praise the Righteous God!’
    But woe to me! I am now becoming-weak! For the deception of the traitor men are still continuing.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
