Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 51:17:
- Kupsabiny: “Please, be strong and get up
stand up, oh, Jerusalem.
You have passed through the troubles of God.
Those troubles have eaten you to the end
until you could only stagger.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “O Jerusalem, wake up and come,
you who have drunk from the LORD’s hand, from the cup of his anger,
and [who] have drunk from the cup of staggering, [drinking it] clean,
wake up from sleep, wake up from sleep!” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “[You (sing.)] rise-up, Jerusalem! The wrath of the LORD is like something-to-drink which you (sing.) finished-up drinking until you (sing.) staggered of drunkenness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
