complete verse (Isaiah 5:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 5:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, my people will be caught/taken and driven away,
    because they do not respect God.
    Famine will kill the rich/big men,
    and thirst will kill the weak ones.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So my people, for lack of insight, will have to be forcibly taken away into exile.
    The great and honorable ones among them [will die,]
    having nothing to eat and the poor will die,
    having nothing to drink.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore you (plur.) my people will-be-taken-captives because you (plur.) have- not -understood what I am doing. You (plur.) will-die and your (plur.) leaders/[lit. heads] because of hunger and thirst.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
