complete verse (Isaiah 65:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 65:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “Never shall there be there an infant
    who only lives for a few days.
    No old man shall die early there
    instead of growing old in his life.
    When a person dies having hundred years
    he has died like a person who is still young.
    But the one who dies before hundred years
    is a person who is cursed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “There will never be an infant that lives [only] for some days
    or an old man who does not get to live out his full years.
    One who dies having lived [only] 100 years will be thought [to have died] young.
    And one who has not lived 100 years will be thought accursed. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “There will-be- no -more infant or young-one will-die there. The one-who-dies whose age is 100 years will-be-considered as still young, and the one-who-dies not reaching 100 (years-of-age) will-be-considered whom I punished.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
