Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 36:16:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not believe his words. The king of Assyria is saying, ‘Accept my words and make peace with me. Then, each one of you shall eat the fruits of his own vines, eat his own figs and drink the water of his own well.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Don’t listen to Hezekiah’s words. The great king of Assyria has spoken like this: And if you join with me and come out to me, you will all get to eat fruit from your own grapevines and figs from your own fig trees and drink water from your own wells. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘You (plur.) should- not -listen to Hezekia! This is what the king of Asiria is-saying: You (plur.) no-longer oppose me; you (plur.) just surrender! Then I will-allow you (plur.) to eat the fruit of your (plur.) grapes and fig, and can-drink from your (plur.) reserviors/cistern of water,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
