Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 36:18:
- Kupsabiny: “Be careful, do not let Hezekiah make you blind. Do not believe him when he claims deceitfully that God will save you. Have you ever heard at any time it being said that there is a god/idol of any community who has saved their people from me, the king of Assyria?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Don’t listen to Hezekiah’s words! By saying ‘The LORD will deliver you,’ he has been deceiving you. What! Has the god of any nation been able to deliver his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) should-not -let- Hezekia -lead- you (plur.) -astray when he will-say that the LORD will-save you (plur.). Are there gods in any nation that have-saved their nation from the hand of the king of Asiria?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
