Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 8:26:
- Kupsabiny: “Those things reached twenty kilos. Other things were chains, purple clothes which the kings of Midian had been wearing and the neck rings which had been put on the necks of the camels.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The weight of the gold Marwari earrings given to him was 1,700 shekels. But the ornaments, pendant and purple robes worn by the Midianite kings and the chains of the camel’s necks were not included in that.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “(It was) about 20 kilos of gold earrings that had-been-gathered aside from the decorations, necklaces, purple garments/clothes of the kings of Midian, and something-like-chains on the necks of their camels.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The weight of all the earrings was 43 pounds/19.4 kg.. That did not include other things that they gave to Gideon—the other ornaments or the pendants or the clothes that the kings of Midian wore or the gold chains that were on the necks of their camels.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
