complete verse (Isaiah 29:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 29:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Go ahead and be stupid
    and you are blind!
    You are drunk and it is not from wine
    and you stagger and it is not from beer!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Feel amazed and be astonished.
    Be blind, not seeing with [your] eyes.
    be drunk, but not from grape wine.
    Stagger, but not from alcoholic beverage.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who of/from-Juda, you (plur.) make- yourselves -crazy and you (plur.) be-crazy. [You (plur.)] blind yourselves and [you (plur.)] cause-(yourself)-to-be-blind. You (plur.) are drunk and staggering but not because of wine.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You people of Jerusalem, be amazed and surprised about this !
    Do not believe what I have said !
    And continue to be blind about what Yahweh is doing.
    You are stupid, but it is not because you have drunk a lot of wine.
    You stagger, but not from drinking alcoholic drinks.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
