Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 44:9:
- Kupsabiny: “All the people who form/make idols are useless/nothing.
Those things that they admire cannot save/help anything.
People who bow to those things are blind.
They are confused,
so, they shall be made ashamed/disappointed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “All those who make idols are useless,
The idols that they think so very precious are worthless [lit.: not even worth a single stitch]
Those who witness for them are blind,
Not knowing anything they are being caused to fall into shame.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “All who make little-gods/false-gods have no value. And these little-gods/false-gods which they treasure/[lit. prize-so-highly] are worthless/no value. They themselves can-prove that these are no value. For they can- not -see and know nothing. Therefore those who worship them are put-to-shame.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
