complete verse (Isaiah 7:25)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 7:25:

  • Kupsabiny: “There is no person who wants to go where he used to farm in the hills, because (he) is afraid of the forest of thornbushes. It will only/just become a place for grazing cows and goats.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “On all the hills that are dug with a hand plough, however, since there are only thorns and nettles, being afraid, they will not go there again. But that place will be a place for cows and bulls to graze, a place for sheep and goats to graze.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “No one will-go anymore to the mountains there that in the-time-past was-being-planted, because this is now thick-brush and filled with thorny bushes. This will- now -be a grazing-field for the cattle and sheep.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “No one will go to where there previously were gardens on fertile hillsides, because briers and thorns will cover those hillsides. They will be areas where only a few cattle and sheep and goats wander around searching for something to eat.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
