complete verse (Daniel 6:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 6:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “The other rulers and leaders blackened their stomachs (developed envy) against Daniel. They looked for matter they could falsely accuse him of in the area of leadership, but they did not find anything they could accuse Daniel of. There was no fault at all, because he was a trustworthy man and not corrupt.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Since it was like this, the other two ministers and district officers in governmental work started looking for Daniel’s faults. But they were not even able to find any corruption in his work, for he was a trustworthy person, and not a man who tends to act carelessly.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Because of that, his two co-administrators and the governors looked for fault in the leadership of Daniel so they could-accuse him. But they could not see any fault because Daniel was very trustworthy and his leadership (was) good.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then, the other administrators and the governors became jealous. So they began to try to find something that they could criticize about the way I was working for the king. But I always did my work faithfully and honestly, and was never lazy. So they could not find anything to criticize.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
