complete verse (Isaiah 47:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 47:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “But both those things shall hit you
    on the same day.
    The children shall die from you and you become a widow.
    These words shall come close to you
    even if you have used sorcerers
    of you wished for strong charms to guard you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Both of these things will come upon you suddenly in a single day.
    you will lose your children and become a widow.
    Even though if you have the power in your life to do a lot of magic,
    and even if you have power to do the full tantra-mantra,
    all these things will [still] come into your life.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But suddenly this will-happen to you (sing.): You (sing.) will be a widow and will-lose children. This will- all -happen to you (sing.) even if you (sing.) knew many magics or sorceries.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
