complete verse (Song of Solomon 4:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Song of Solomon 4:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “Your teeth are very white like white sheep,
    whose hair has just been cut and they are washed
    so they are like inseparable twins
    where not even one stands lonely.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Your teeth are as white as the sheep
    that have just been shorn and bathed.
    They are all the same,
    very well matched.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Your (sing.) teeth (are) just (as)- -white-(as) a sheep that is- just newly -shorn and washed/[lit. bathed]. These (are) complete and well arranged.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Your teeth are very white
    like a flock of sheep whose wool has just been shorn/cut off
    and that have come up from being washed in a stream.
    You have all of your teeth;
    none of them is missing.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
