complete verse (Daniel 9:26)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 9:26:

  • Kupsabiny: “But after this period of seven multiplied by sixty plus two years, that Anointed one of God will be killed innocently. Another king’s army shall attack the city and the House of God. The final death will come like a flooded river, with war and the destruction that God has prepared.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then after 62 weeks that man who has been anointed will be killed and he will not have anything left. Then the army of a ruler who comes to attack will destroy the city and the temple. The end will come like a flood. That will bring the war and destruction which God has prepared. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “After 434 years, the chosen leader/[lit. head] of God will-be-killed with no one to help him. Then a king will-arrive and his people will-harm the city and the temple. And according to what God has-destined, the destruction and war will-continue until the end.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed when it seems that he will have accomplished nothing unjustly/without having done anything wrong. After that, the temple will be destroyed by the army of a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood destroys everything. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that God has decreed will happen.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
