complete verse (Isaiah 62:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 62:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “Never again shall you be called ‘The abandoned one,’
    and your land shall not be called ‘Desert.’
    But you shall be called ‘The loved one,’
    and your land shall be called, ‘The married one.’
    God shall rejoice over you
    and your land shall be built up again.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Never again will you be called ‘Azubah’,
    Never again will your country be called, ‘Shemamah’,
    but you will be called ‘Hephzibah,’
    and you will be called ‘Beulah.’
    For the LORD is happy with you,
    and your land will be married.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (sing.) no-longer be-called ‘Rejected’ or ‘Abandoned,’ but rather you (sing.) will- now -be-called ‘Joy of God’ or ‘Married to God,’ for the LORD is pleased/happy with you (sing.) and as-if like you (sing.) are to-be-married to him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
