Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 41:25:
- Kupsabiny: “There is a person in the East whom I have incited to come.
I am driving that person
for that person to come to start a war
from the side of North.
He shall trample on kings like when
one steps on the mud of pots.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “I have chosen someone from the north and he will come.
Having come from east, he will call on my name.
Like mud is trampled to soften it and like a potter tramples the clay,
he will trample rulers. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I chose to rule a man from the north. He takes-refuge in me; and now he is-coming from the east. He will destroy the ones who-rule like the treading of a potter of mud which he will-make into a clay-pot.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
