Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 12:15:
- Kupsabiny: “The people who were in charge of the work of renewing the Homestead of God were people who did not misappropriate anything. So, they were not asked how much they had used because they all worked with a white stomach (being honest).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “They did not take an accounting from those who gave wages to the men who did the work. For the work they did was honest.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The men who supervise the repair were- not -asked-for the list of the expenses because they were-trustworthy.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
