complete verse (2 Chronicles 9:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 9:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “There was a lady who ruled the country of Sheba. When that lady heard Solomon being praised, she went to Jerusalem wanting to go and test Solomon with difficult questions. The lady went together with a peace delegation and camels that carried things that smell sweet, stones that cost much money and very much gold. And when she met with Solomon, she asked all the matters that she had.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The Queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame. And bringing difficult questions she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon. With a large group of attendants [lit.: with people who took care of one crowd] she came bringing camels carrying spices, precious stones and much gold. She met Solomon and put before him the questions in her heart.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When the queen of Sheba heard the fame of Solomon, she went to Jerusalem to test the wisdom of Solomon through hard questions. She arrived in Jerusalem accompanied with many men, and she brought camels loaded with gifts [linker/(of)] spices, gold which (are) very many, and precious/[lit. expensive] stones. When she-and Solomon met, she asked him everything that she wanted to ask-of.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The queen who ruled the Sheba area in Arabia heard that Solomon had become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult to answer. She came with a large group of servants, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the things/topics in which she was interested.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
