complete verse (Isaiah 43:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 43:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying, ‘You who know me,
    oh, people of Israel.
    I chose you to be my servants so you could trust in me
    and know that I alone is God.
    There is no other God who has appeared first
    when I had not appeared
    and no other shall appear again
    except me alone.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD Almighty says, "O people of Israel, you are my witness
    and the servant I have chosen.
    That you may be able to get to know me and be able to believe,
    and that [you] may be able to understand that I am the God.
    Before any other god was formed, I was,
    after all gods are gone, I will be.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “People-groups of Israel, you (plur.) are my witnesses. I have-chosen you (plur.) as my servant so-that you (plur.) will-know me and you (plur.) will-believe in me, and you (plur.) will-understand that I alone is God. There is no other God who is before me or will-follow me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
