complete verse (Isaiah 58:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 58:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “Share your food with those who are hungry.
    Receive/welcome the orphans who have nowhere to stay.
    Dress those who have no clothes
    and do not refuse to help your relatives.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “To share [your] own food with those who do not have the chance to eat,
    and to give shelter to the needy who have no house,
    and as for those who are naked, to put clothing on [them]
    and not to run away from your own relatives — isn’t this so?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) give food to the ones who-are-hungry, you (plur.) cause-to-stay in your (plur.) houses the ones who-have-nothing to stay, you (plur.) clothes the ones who-have- no -clothes, and you (plur.) help your (plur.) blood-relatives.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I want you to share your food with those who are hungry
    and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses.
    Give clothes to those who do not have clothes,
    and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
