Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 2:10:
- Kupsabiny: “These people replied, ‘Listen, your majesty, there is no one on earth who can do the way you want. And no other king in the whole world however great and powerful he is, has ever demanded from the herbalists, wise men or magicians such a great thing!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The astrologers replied to the king, "There is no one on this earth, Oh Great King, who is able to tell the matter you have asked [lit.: said]. No king, however great or strong, has ever made such a request of a magician, an enchanter [lit.: omen seeker] or astrologer.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “They replied to the king, ‘Surely[intensifier] no person in the whole world can-do what you (sing.) are-asking. And no king, how powerful/great he is, who commands the magicians, enchanters, or astrologers to do that.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The men who studied the stars replied, ‘There is no one on the earth who can do what you ask! There is no king, even a great and mighty king, who has ever asked his men who work magic or his fortune-tellers or men who study the stars to do something like that!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
