complete verse (Isaiah 29:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 29:11:

  • Kupsabiny: β€œThis revelation shall be hidden from you (plur.). The words that are in the book are like when it has been sealed well. If a person who knows how to read is brought to you he will say, β€˜I am not able to read because it is sealed.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: β€œFor you the vision is only words written on the scroll of a book which has been sealed up. After you give the scroll of the book to anyone who is able to read, and speaking like this you ask him, "Please read this," he will answer, "No I can’t read this, it has been closed by putting a seal on it."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: β€œFor you(p), all these which have-been-revealed to you (plur.) seems-like a close book. If you (sing.) cause- it -to-read to a man who knows how to read, he will-say, β€˜I could not read it because (it is) closed.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: β€œYahweh gave me this vision; but for you, it is only words on a scroll that is sealed shut. If you give it to those who can read and request that they read it, they will say, β€˜We cannot read it because the scroll is sealed.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
