Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 49:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “But God is saying,
    ‘Can a woman forget her child that she nursed?
    Can a woman really not have mercy on her child that she bore.
    Even if a woman forgets her child,
    I shall never forget you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “What! Will any mother forget her nursing child?
    What! Will she not have compassion on the child to which she has given birth?
    But even if a mother might forget
    I will never forget you. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But the LORD replied, ‘Can a mother forget her child? Does she has no concern to what she had-given-birth? Even if she forgets, I will- never -forget you (plur.)!” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But Yahweh replies,
    ‘That is not true! Can a woman forget the infant that she is nursing?/A woman certainly cannot forget the infant that she is nursing!
    Can she stop being kind to the child to whom she has given birth?/She certainly cannot stop being kind to the child to whom she has given birth!
    But even if a woman would do that,
    I will not forget you!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
