Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 37:33:
- Kupsabiny: “So, God is saying about the king of Assyria that, ‘That one shall never fight this city and its soldiers. (He/they) shall not even shoot an arrow or come near to the wall. They are unable to heap up soil that they can use to climb on to go inside the wall.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “So the LORD says like this concerning the king of Assyria,
"He will not come into this city,
or even shoot an arrow here,
nor will they be able to come before it taking shield
and make siege ramp against [lit: heap of stone and dirt] out of wall.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “This is what the LORD says concerning the king of Asiria: He can- not -enter into the city of Jerusalem or can-shoot-an-arrow to-it. He can- not -go-near with shield or can-surround the stone-walls of the city to besiege it.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “And this is what I, Yahweh, say about the King of Assyria:
‘His armies will not enter Jerusalem;
they will not even shoot arrows into it.
His soldiers will not march outside the city gates holding their shields,
and they will not build high mounds of dirt against the walls of the city
to enable them to attack the city.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
