complete verse (Isaiah 3:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 3:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “Also in those days one will take hold of a man of the clan,
    and will say,
    ‘Because you are dressed well,
    take on the leadership,
    and rule over this deserted house.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The day is about to come
    when a man will take an elder brother in his father’s house and will speak to him like this —
    "You have a outer garment,
    you be our leader in this heap of ruins."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “At that time a man will-go to his relatives and say(-to-him), ‘Because your (sing.) clothes are still nice/okay/[lit. good], you (sing.) just lead us (excl.) in this time that our (incl.) place is ruined.’ But he will-answer, ‘I could not help you (plur.). My family does not even have food or clothes, therefore you (plur.) do- not make me the leader/[lit. head].’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
