Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 44:15:
- Kupsabiny: “That man uses a portion of that tree
to become firewood by which he cooks food and warms (himself) with.
He burns a portion of that tree to make bread with it
and he forms a portion of it to become an idol that he can bow down to.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Then he uses some of the wood to make a fire.
with it he warms himself and makes his bread.
But from it he also makes a god and [he] worships it.
he makes an idol and lies prostrate before it.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “He uses the other woods as firewood, so-that he can-be-warmed and can-bake/[lit. cook] bread. And the other woods he makes (it) into a little-god, and he kneels and worship (it).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
