Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 28:1:
- Kupsabiny: “The city of Samaria is in a bad situation
which the drunkards of Ephraim boast about.
The beauty of that city is finished
like flowers that are withered.
That city is in a fertile valley
and people whom beer rules are proud of it.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Woe to that proud crown of the drunken people of Ephraim!
Alas, that crown, which is made by fading flowers,
before it was very beautiful!
It is a city up a fertile valley,
belonging to those drunk with wine.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Woe to Samaria, who is like a crown-like flower, the pride of the drunkard leaders/[lit. heads] of Israel. This city is located in the fruitful plain/valley, but its beauty will-fade-away like a flower that withers.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
