Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 15:22:

but when/if (he) gets advice about those things, they will come to pass.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Take all the advice you can get.
Only then will you be prepared for work.
Without taking advice,
you will not be prepared for work.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “If you (sing.) will- not -ask for guidance about your (sing.) plans, you (sing.) will- not -be-successful, but if you (sing.) will-ask for many advices/counsels, your (sing.) plans will-be-successful.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
