Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 10:7:
- Kupsabiny: “But I could not then/at that time believe those things until I came to see with my own eyes. Indeed I had not been told half of all those things. Your wisdom and your wealth are more than what I was told.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “But until I came and saw with my own eyes I did not believe the reports spoken by the people. In fact I had not even heard half of your wisdom. It turns out that you have much more wisdom, wealth and property than the people reported.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I did- not -believe in these-things until I came here and I saw it myself. The truth-is, what I have-heard about you is not even half-part of what I saw. Your wisdom and wealth is more than of what I have-heard.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. But really, what they told me is only half of what they could have told me about you. You are extremely wise and rich, more than what people told me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
