complete verse (Isaiah 63:3)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 63:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “‘I trampled on my enemies like grapes
    when no one came to my aid.
    I stepped on those enemies in my anger
    so their blood sprinkled
    and colored all my clothes.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “I crushed grapes alone,
    no one else [from] the nations was with me.
    In anger I crushed them,
    and in my anger I trampled them.
    The blood of their life splashed my clothes,
    and my clothes became all bloody. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD replied, ‘In my anger I trampled/treaded the nations as-if-like grapes. I alone the one-who treaded (it); no one accompanied me. Their blood spattered on my clothes; that is why my clothes were-stained.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
