complete verse (Isaiah 52:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 52:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “But what is it now again?
    My people have been taken and driven away as prisoners.
    The people of that country persecute my people
    and my name is mocked the whole day.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Now what do I have here?" says the LORD Almighty,
    "for my people have been taken away without reason,
    and they are ridiculed by those who rule them,"
    declares the LORD Almighty.
    "My name is being disgraced the whole day.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And now what also/next has-happened to you (plur.)? You (plur.) were-taken-captive by Babilonia which just had no value/benefit. They rule-over you (plur.) and criticize. They always blaspheme me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But now think about what is happening:
    My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the people of Babylonia.
    And those who have conquered them this time have also paid me nothing,
    and they despise me continually.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
