complete verse (Isaiah 22:3)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 22:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “All your leaders fled,
    but they were caught before an arrow was shot.
    Other people tried to flee,
    but they were found and caught.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Suddenly all your leaders ran away.
    They were captured without the use of bow and arrow.
    Even though the enemy was far away you ran away
    and [you] were all captured.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “All your (plur.) leaders/[lit. heads] fled, and they were-caught without any trouble. Some of you (plur.) tried to escape, but still they were-caught.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “All the leaders of the city fled.
    But then they were captured because they did not have bows and arrows to defend themselves.
    Your soldiers tried to flee while the enemy army was still far away,
    but they also were captured.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
