complete verse (Isaiah 46:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 46:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “Bel kneels and Nebo bends down
    these idols that were worshipped.
    But now animals are carrying (them).
    Those idols weigh heavily on people
    and they are heavy for those animals.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “God Bel bows down in shame, god Nebo kneels down in fear.
    The animals that carry loads will [also] carry their idols.
    And the idols that they carried off
    became difficult, a very heavy load.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The little-gods/false-gods of Babilonia who were Bel and Nebo were-laying-down while being-carried in the chariots that were-being-pulled by the donkeys. They are heavy load on the weary donkeys.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
