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

  • Kupsabiny: “I have already said that if you do not tell me these dreams then you deserve that I punish all of you the same way. So, you think you are telling me lies by changing statements with the hope that my decision would change. Tell me those dreams so I can know that you are able to tell me what they mean.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If you do not tell me [my] dream there will be there will be one kind of punishment for all of you. Hoping that the situation would change you have been plotting to tell me lies. Now tell me that dream. then I will know that you will be able to tell me its meaning."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “that if you (plur.) in-fact/indeeddo- not -guess and explain my dream I will- surely -punish you (plur.) like what I had-said. You (plur.) have-conspired to lie to me for you (plur.) are-hoping that the situation will- still -change. You (plur.) try-to-guess now what is my dream so I will-believe that you (plur.) really know how-to-explain its meaning.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If you do not tell me what I dreamed, you will be punished. I think that you have all agreed to tell me lies and other wicked things, because you hope that I will change my mind/what I am thinking. But tell me the dream, and then I will know that you can also tell me what it means.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
