Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 57:17:
- Kupsabiny: “I was angry with them for their sins
and their greed.
I crashed them and abandoned them because I was angry with them,
but they returned to do their own words/deeds only.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “I was angry by reason of [their] greed and the sin that they commit.
I punished them,
and I hid my face from them.
Still, their behavior was becoming obstinate.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I was angry because of the sin and being-greedy of Israel, therefore I punished them and turned-back-(from them). But they still continue to sin.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
