Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 5:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “While Belshazzar was drinking wine, he said that (they/people) bring to him the things/utensils of gold and silver which his grandfather/forefather Nebuchadnezzar had brought from the House of God in Jerusalem. He wanted them to be used for drinking by his guests, his wives and concubines.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “While drinking wine, King Belshazzar gave the order that the gold and silver articles which had been brought by his predecessor Nebuchadnezzar from the temple in Jerusalem be brought there for him, his officials, and his wives and concubines to drink wine from.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When Belshezar was the king of Babilonia, he held a great banquet for a thousand noble men. While they were-drinking wine, Belshazar ordered-to-bring-in the gold and silver drinking-cups that his father Nebuchadnezzar had- taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem. He ordered- these -to-be-taken so-that his noble guests, his wives, and his other slave-wives could-drink-from-it. So when the drinking-cups were-brought-in to him, they drank-from it.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “While he was drinking, he commanded thathis servants bring to him the gold and silver cups that the previous king, Nebuchadnezzar, had taken from the temple in Jerusalem. He did that because he wanted himself and his officials, his wives, and even his concubines/slave wives to drink from them, making fun of the god that we Israelis worshiped.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
