complete verse (Isaiah 40:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 40:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “Countries are small in relation to God.
    (They) are like water that drips
    and they are light/weak like dust.
    God is seeing
    countries that touches the ocean,
    they are weak like dust.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The nations are only like a drop in a bucket.
    They are like dust clinging to the scales.
    He weighs the islands like dust.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The truth is, the nations are just like a drop in a bucket/pail, or dust on the scales. To God, the islands are just as light as dust.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “God, although we cannot see you,
    you are the one to whom we Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
