complete verse (Isaiah 66:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 66:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “I am the one who created everything
    and all things are mine.
    The person I agree with is the one who brings himself down
    and repents.
    I agree with the one who trembles on account of my word.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “What! I have made the heavens and the earth with my own hands, haven’t I?
    And in this way everything came to be, isn’t that so?
    The LORD Almighty has declared [it].
    Those who seem poor in spirit and [have] weeping hearts
    and who tremble at my word, shaking with fear, I look on with kindness.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Was not I the one-who-made all things?
    ‘I, the LORD, says: I give attention to the people who are humble, repentant/contrite, and fear my word.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I have created everything;
    all things exist because I made them.
    That is true because I, Yahweh, have said it.
    The people I am most pleased with are those who are humble,
    who patiently endure it when they suffer/are afflicted,
    and who tremble when they hear me rebuking them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
