Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 2:22:
- Kupsabiny: “So, please, do not entrust yourselves to a mere person,
because that one who is of no value dies.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Don’t put your confidence in humans who have only a fistful of breath.
Then what’s that worth?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] do- not -trust in man that will only die. What can- he really -help?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
