complete verse (Isaiah 47:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 47:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is saying,
    ‘You shall be pulled down to sit in dust
    oh, city of Babylon.
    You shall sit without a chair
    oh, city of the Chaldeans.
    Never again shall you be called
    a healthy lady.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “O Virgin Daughter of Babylon
    you go down below [and] sit in the dust!
    O daughter of Babylon,
    leave throne sit down on the ground!
    From now on you will not be called modest and soft. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD said, You (sing.) will-sit on the ground, Babilonia. You (sing.) will-sit without a throne. You (sing.) who is like a virgin woman will- no longer -be-called gentle and delicate.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
