Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 4:34:
- Kupsabiny: “At the end of the seven years, I Nebuchadnezzar raised my head and looked above to God’s Home. Then I came to my senses and praised the God of authority and gave honor to him who is forever. His rulership lasts for years and years.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “After seven periods had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar looked upwards with my eyes towards heaven and my understanding became like it had been before. I praised God Most High and gave glory and honor to the one who is living forever.
He will reign forever
and his reign will continue
from generation to generation. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘After seven years, I, Nebuchadnezzar, took-refuge in God and my good mind returned/was-restored. So I praised and honored the Most High God who is alive without end. I said,
‘His reign is without end.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “‘After those seven years ended, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, and I acknowledged that what God said was true. Then I could think correctly again. I praised and worshiped the Supreme God, and I honored him, the one who lives forever.
He rules forever;
his kingdom will never end.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
