Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 19:7:
- Kupsabiny: “If the brothers/sisters of a poor person may refuse him/her,
how much more will his/her friends refuse (him)!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Even affinal kin distance themselves
from their poor relatives,
how much more do their friends shun them.
No matter how much they pursue them
(no matter how hard they try)
the poor are not able to make friends.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “If you (sing.) are poor, your (sing.) relatives do- not -pay-attention to you (sing.), and more especially your (sing.) friends. If you (sing.) need them, you (sing.) can- not -find them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “The poor-person, his siblings turn-their-backs-on-(him), even-more-so his friends. If he needs help, there-is-nobody to help him.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- English: “Even the relatives of someone who becomes poor hate him,
and his friends certainly stay away from him, too;
even if he tries to talk with them, they will not be his friends again.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
