Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 23:21:
- Kupsabiny: “for those things bring about poverty until people put on rags.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “For drunkards and gluttons become paupers.
If you never do anything but eat and sleep
you will have nothing to wear but rags and tatters.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “[You (sing.)] do- not -be-like the drunkards and fond-of-eating/glutton, for that kind of people will- easily -become-poor. They just keep-on sleeping, therefore some time-later they will- just -cloth rags.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Because people like those, they are always sleeping, so they will-become-poor and they will wear what-is-repeatedly-torn (i.e., ragged).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
