Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 66:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying, ‘There are people who make an effort to be consecrated and cleansed and then enter again the gardens where idols are prayed to. Those people eat pigs, rats and other unclean food. They shall all be destroyed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the garden, following those who eat pigs, mice or other repulsive foods, — they will all be destroyed. The LORD Almighty has declared [it]. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD said, ‘The ones who-cause-(themselves)-to-be-holy and cause- themselves -to-be-clean in their worshipping the little-gods/false-gods in the garden/planted-place will-die together. They who are-eating pork, rat, and other food which are detestable will- really -die.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh says, ‘Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and then go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, and other things that I have forbidden you to eat. So I will get rid of you for doing that.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
