Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 59:14:
- Kupsabiny: “Truth/justice was moved aside
and righteousness is not near.
Because truth/justice is suppressed in the compound
and the straight/right matter is not allowed to be seen.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Since it’s like this, justice has been pressed back and sent off,
righteousness has gone far away,
and as for truth [lit.: true matters] it has been stumbling on the roads,
that being the case, honesty is not able to enter.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “That is why God still did- not -punish our (incl.) enemies and he still did- not give us (incl.) victory with righteousness. For the truth is nowhere to be found; the people can no-longer be-trusted.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
