Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 2:30:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not think that these dreams were shown/revealed to me because I am more wise than other people, but they were shown to me so that you (the) king may know what your dreams reveal/show and understand what went through your thoughts/mind.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “As for me, It is not that I have more wisdom than other people, but rather, O Great King, that you may know its meaning, and that you may know that this hidden matter –what all has happened in your mind — has been revealed to me.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And your (sing.) dream was-revealed to me by God, not because I am wiser than the other men, but-rather so-that I can-explain to you (sing.) and you (sing.) may understand the meaning of what came to your (sing.) mind.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else on earth that I know the meaning of this mysterious dream. It is because God wanted you to understand what you were thinking.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
