complete verse (Isaiah 5:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 5:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “The world of the dead is wide open,
    it has opened to the edge.
    (It) swallows all the people of Jerusalem,
    whether they are rich/big men or weak ones,
    those who completely delve into feasts.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The grave, being hungry,
    is waiting with it mouth wide open, expecting food.
    It will also completely swallow up with the high placed families of Jerusalem
    and brawlers and revelers.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The grave is-opening-up wide. It is waiting to put-in the noble people of Jerusalem including its residents who are-rejoicing and marrying.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
