complete verse (Isaiah 28:25)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 28:25:

  • Kupsabiny: “When a person has finished plowing his field
    he plants the seeds.
    He plants wheat in rows
    and goes on to (plant) barley where he has prepared for it.
    Or/And at the edges/end he plants other crops.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “At the time when he levels a field by plowing it,
    what! doesn’t he [also] sow anise and cummin?
    What! will he not [also] sow wheat in its place?
    Then he also will sow barley in its place,
    will he not? He will sow wheat in the field,
    will he not?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Is it not so that if the land is already ready, he sow on it with different seeds-for-planting in each of its field, like the seeds-for-planting of the spices, wheat, barley and other seeds-for-planting.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “No, he makes the ground very level,
    and then he plants seeds—
    dill and cumin and wheat and barley.
    He plants each kind of seed in the correct manner.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
