complete verse (1 Kings 10:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 10:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “There were also twelve other things which were like lions. These things were two on each of the steps and one stood on the tip/end of the right hand side and the other stood on the left hand. Never before has such a thing been done in the home of any other king/ruler.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “With one lion on each side of each step there was a total of twelve lions. There was no other throne in the world like Solomon’s throne.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And there was also a statue of lion on each side of the step. Twelve statues of lions in all on the six steps. Nothing can-be-compared on this throne in any kingdom.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a statue of a lion on both sides of each step. So altogether there were twelve statues of lions. The back of the throne was rounded at the top. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a small statue of a lion. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
