Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 52:7:
- Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
ββHere now there is a person
who did not consider God his fortress,
but believed his abundant wealth
and worked hard to do evil (things)!ββ (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation) - Newari:
β"Look! This is the man
who did not make God his fortress
but put his trust in his wealth,
and became strong by destroying others."β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon:
ββ[You (plur.)] look-at the people who do-not trust God as their strong [linker] place-of-refuge.
Instead they trust in their great wealth
and they have- even -become-powerful through destroying others.ββ (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - Laarim:
ββYou see this person,
who did not give God to be his place of strength,
but instead he put his heart on all his great wealth,
and he became a person who is strong, who destroyed other people much!ββ (Source: Laarim Back Translation) - Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
ββTazameni ambayo yamemkuta mtu huyu!
Hakupenda kuwa Mungu awe kimbilio lake.
Lakini alitumaini uwingi wa mali zake,
alipata nguvu kwa njia ya kuwangamiza watu.ββ (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation) - English:
ββLook what happened to the man who would not ask God to protect him;
he trusted that his great wealth would save him;
he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!ββ (Source: Translation for Translators)
