Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 8:43:
- Kupsabiny: “Listen to their prayers up there above. Do to those foreigners whatever they ask you about so that all the people on earth may know you so that they respect you the same way your people of Israel do. Then he will know that this house which I built for you is where you are to be worshiped.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “hear his prayer from heaven, where you live. Give that foreigner anything he asks for. May all the nations of the world recognize You, as the Israelites do, and may they obey Your commands. At that time, they will know that I have built this temple that honors Your name.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “hear/listen-to them there in your dwelling-place in heaven. And do whatever they request-for, so-that all the people on earth will-know you and will-respect you like your people Israelinhon, and so-that they may-know that you are being-honored in the temple that I built.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “in your home in heaven, listen to their prayers, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that so that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we your Israeli people do. And then they will know that this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you, is where you should be worshiped.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
