Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 27:14:
- Kupsabiny: “If/When a person goes very early in the morning to his friend and greets (him) loudly,
people may think that he may have bad things in mind for his friend.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “If anyone gives a blessing to the neighbors
with a loud voice early in the morning,
it is like a curse.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “If you (sing.) will-disturb your (sing.) neighbor early-in-the-morning by your (sing.) noisy blessing, he will-consider that as a curse.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “If you (sing.) wake-up your (sing.) friend early by-means-of your (sing.) greeting, it’s- just the-same -as-if you (sing.) have-cursed-(him).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- English: “If you rise early in the morning and call out a greeting to your neighbor while he is still sleeping,
he will consider it to be a curse, not a blessing.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
