complete verse (Isaiah 59:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 59:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, the matters of truth/justice are far from us
    and righteousness does not reach us.
    We thought that we had found light
    but we truly see darkness.
    We looked for where (light) shines
    but we walked where truly it was dark.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So justice continues to be far from us.
    It is not possible for righteousness to meet us.
    We are looking for the light of the path,
    but [it] is all remaining dark.
    We are looking for the path of sunlight,
    but we are going on a path that stays very dark.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “That is why God still do not punish our (incl.) enemies, and he did not give us (incl.) victory with righteousness. We (incl.) waited for light, but darkness came. That is why we (incl.) are-walking in darkness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
