Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 36:12:
- Kupsabiny: “But that man answered them, ‘My master wants that everyone in Jerusalem hears these words, and not only you. People should know that if they do not humble themselves, this city will be surrounded. And then there shall be such hunger and thirst that (they) eat their excrements and drink their urine.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “But the captain of war said, "What! has my master sent me to tell this matter only to you and your master? What! didn’t he [also] send me to the people staying on the wall, who will have to eat their own feces and drink their own urine?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But the commander replied, ‘My master commanded me to tell these things to all the residents of Jerusalem, not only to you (plur.) and to your (plur.) king. All of you (plur.) will-be- hungry and thirsty in the time that we (excl.) will-attack you (plur.). Therefore you (plur.) will-eat your (plur.) dung and you (plur.) will-drink your (plur.) urine.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
