complete verse (Daniel 5:16)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 5:16:

  • Kupsabiny: “I have heard that you are able to tell/show what is hidden and even solve difficult matters. So, if you will manage to read these writings and tell me what they say, you will be dressed in purple royal garments and (a) golden ring. And you will be promoted to the third highest leadership position in my kingdom.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “I have heard that you are able to tell [me] the meaning of that hidden matters and solve difficult problems. If you are able to read these letters which have been written and to tell me their meaning you will be dressed in royal robes of purple, a golden chain of honor will be placed as a garland around your neck, and you will become the person with the third highest rank in the land."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But I heard that you (sing.) know how to give an interpretation, and you (sing.) also know how to solve difficult problems. Now, if you (sing.) can-read that writing and explain its meaning, I will- have- you (sing.) -dressed in royal clothes and have-wear- a gold -necklace. And I will- even -make you (sing.) the third highest official in my kingdom.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Someone told me that you can tell what dreams mean and explain things that are very difficult to understand. If you can read these words and tell me what they mean, I will give you a purple robe like I wear because I am the king, and I will put a gold chain around your neck. You will become a very important official in my kingdom; there will be only two others who will be more important than you will be.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
