Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 24:12:
- Kupsabiny: “If you say that you did not know these words/things, so does it mean that God does not know how you are? Will he not pay back to every person according to what that person does?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Don’t put it off, saying, "This is not my job."
God knows the thoughts of every heart,
and He has also been watching you.
He knows what is in your heart.
He will reward everyone
according to what he has done.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “(It is) possible that you (sing.) will-say that you (sing.) do not know about it. But God knows if you (sing.) are-telling the truth or not, for he watches you (sing.) and he knows what is really in your (sing.) mind. He will-pay- you (sing.) -back according to your (sing.) deeds.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Don’t (sing.) say that you (sing.) don’t know, because God is able to see what is in your (sing.) mind. He knows what all people think-about and do and he rewards/recompenses all according to what they do.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
