complete verse (Daniel 12:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 12:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then, the man whose dress was white lifted up his hands and in the name of the Everlasting God said to that person, ‘It will take three and a half years. When the persecution for the people of God ends, then all these things would have come to pass/been fulfilled.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The person wearing cotton clothes who was above the water of the river lifted his two hands toward heaven [and] I heard [him] swear an oath like this in the name of the eternal God, "This will go on for a time, two times and half a time. As soon as the power of God’s people is lost this will be fulfilled."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “One of them asked the man wearing linen standing on the higher-side of the river. ‘How long before those amazing happenings will-end?’
    The man wearing linen raised his two hands and I heard him swear in the name of God who lives with no end. He said, ‘That will happen after three and a half years have-passed, after the causing-to-suffer to the people of God.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority of God, who lives forever, ‘It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for them.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
