Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 59:16:
- Kupsabiny: βHe saw that no one would rescue people
and was surprised because no one intervened.
So, he will use this strength
to save them getting victory.β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βThe LORD did not see anyone at all who would help the oppressed ones.
And in seeing that not even a single [person] among [them] would intercede [lit.: make requests], he was amazed.
After that he saved them with his right arm,
and he delivered them by his righteousness.β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βHe was surprised of what he saw that there was not even one who helped-out the ones-who-oppressed. Therefore by-means of his power he saved them, and his righteousness has-helped him.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
