complete verse (Isaiah 3:12)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 3:12:

  • Kupsabiny: “Fools will make my people suffer,
    and women who shall be ruling will suppress people.
    Oh no, my people! Your leaders will make you get lost,
    they distort/confuse the path you should have followed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Young children oppress my people,
    and women rule over them.
    O my people! Your leaders are about to take you down a false path,
    and you have become confused on your path.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD says, ‘The young-men are-persecuting my people. Women rule-over them.
    ‘My people, you (plur.) are-being-led-astray by your (plur.) leaders/[lit. heads]. They guide you (plur.) to the wrong way.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
