Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 36:6:
- Kupsabiny: “Listen now, you rely on Egypt, a fragile stick/wood that when it breaks it pierces that hand of anyone who wants it to support (him). That is how it is with the king of Egypt for the people who trust in him.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Listen! You have taken [your] confidence from the land of Egypt. That [however] is a broken bamboo reed. It will pierce people’s hands. If [one] leans on it a wound will happen. It is also like this [for] anyone who takes confidence [from] Pharaoh, king of Egypt.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Is Egipto? This nation and its king are just like a broken cane/staff that when you (sing.) use as-a-support can-wound your (sing.) hand.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
