Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 49:2:
- Kupsabiny: “He prepared my mouth to be sharp like a sword
and he took care of me in his power.
He made me sharp like a sharp arrow,
and he placed me in his quiver.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “He made my mouth sharp like a sword.
He hid me in the shadow of his hand.
He made me a sharpened arrow,
and he has hidden me in his quiver.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “He made my words like a sharp sword. He protected me by his power. He made me like a polished pointed-arrow which-is ready to use.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
