Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 51:16:

  • Kupsabiny: β€œI gave you to speak my words
    and I guarded you with my power.
    I spread out heaven/sky
    and established the earth below.
    I am telling the people of Zion,
    β€˜You are my people!’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: β€œI have put my words in your mouth.
    and [I] have covered you with the shadow of my hand,
    I have put the sky in its place,
    and have laid the foundations of the earth,
    and to Zion [I] have said ‘You are my people.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: β€œI have-taught to you (plur.) what I am going to say, and I protect you (plur.) with my power. I am the one-who-placed the heavens and put the foundations of the earth, and I am the one who said to Jerusalem, β€˜You (sing.) are my people.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
