Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 56:11:
- Kupsabiny: “The leaders are amazingly greedy.
They are like dogs that are greedy/selfish.
The leaders do not understand.
All have followed their own ways only,
and each one is searching for his own benefits/bribes.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “They are like dogs, hungry to eat.
They never have enough to eat [lit.: are never satisfied to eat].
They are shepherds who do not understand.
They have all been going their own way.
They are only thinking about their own prosperity.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They are like the greedy dogs without satisfaction. They who are the caretakers of Israel have no understanding. Each one of them do what he wants to do and looks for his own gain/benefit/goodness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
