Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 5:7:
- Kupsabiny: “That field is the people of Israel,
and the people of Judah is the grapes/vines.
God wanted truth and righteousness,
but they oppressed/hated and shed blood.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The Nation of Israel is the vineyard
of the LORD Almighty.
The people of Judah are a garden that pleases Him.
He had hoped for justice,
but there was only cutting to kill.
He had hoped for righteousness,
but only the sound of the weeping of suffering was to be heard.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The field of the LORD Almighty which he took-care-of and should have/[wish particle] given him happiness/joy is the people of Israel and Juda. He was-expecting that they would do justice/[let- justice -rule], but instead, they killed. He was-expecting that they will-do right/righteous-deeds, but instead, they oppressed(-people).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
