complete verse (Isaiah 58:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 58:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “I want you to fast in this way:
    Release people who are tied/imprisoned since they are innocent
    and release those people
    that you oppressed.
    Remove everything
    that makes other people suffer for nothing.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “To set free those who have been confined because of injustice,
    and to set free those who have been oppressed,
    to break all yokes,
    is not this the fast I have chosen? ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The kind of fasting that I want is the fasting that accompanied-with these righteous ways: You (plur.) stop the oppression and taking-into-prison of the innocents, and you (plur.) set-free the ones being-oppressed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire.
    What I really want is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison ,
    and to encourage those who are treated cruelly/oppressed;
    I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
