Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 60:9:
- Kupsabiny: “They are ships that come from the lands that touch the ocean.
The ships of Tarshish go in front.
They are bringing your children from faraway countries
coming with silver and gold.
They come to honor the name of God,
the holy God of Israel
because he has exalted you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Certainly those on the islands will look for me,
in front will be the ships of the merchants of Tarshish.
For the LORD your God,
and for the honor of the holy God of Israel
they will bring your sons from far away
to your place with their gold and silver.
because he has filled you with splendor.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The ships will-travel as-if-like clouds that fly, and as-if-like doves that is-going to their nests. These ships belong to the people who live in the far places, who hope in the LORD. The ships of Tarshish will-go-before them to bring your (sing.) people back to you (sing.) from the far places. They will- even -bring gold- (plur.) and silver- (plur.) for the LORD your (sing.) God, the Holy God of Israel, for he honors you (sing.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
