complete verse (Daniel 1:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 1:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “After the king had talked to/with all these young men, it was seen/clear that there were no others who were disciplined like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. Then the four (young men) were allowed to live and work in the home of king Nebuchadnezzar.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The king talked with all of them. And [he] was not able to find any others such as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. Accordingly, they were chosen for the work of the king.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The king talked-with them, and the king saw that of all them who were young men no-one could-be-compared to Daniel, Hanania, Mishael, and Azaria. So they were the ones-who-were-chosen to-serve him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The king talked with each of us, and realized that none of the other young men were as capable as Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah and I were. So we four became the king’s special advisors/servants.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
