Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 57:1:
- Kupsabiny: “Righteous people die
and no one thinks about it.
Those who devoted themselves to God are carried away
and there is no one who understands (it).
The righteous are taken to be removed from disaster” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Righteous people are being destroyed
yet no one is concerned at heart [about] that.
the devout people are taken away,
but no one understands that righteous people are taken away
in order to deliver [them] from evil.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “When a righteous man dies, no one really asks why. No one really understands that God takes-away the godly people so-that they can-escape from the evil.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
