Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Song of Solomon 2:8:
- Kupsabiny: “I am hearing the sound/voice of my beloved!
Look! There he is approaching.
He jumps over things as he is coming/appearing over the hills.
He runs quickly from the hill coming towards me!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Listen! The voice of My beloved!
Listen carefully. He is about to come.
Jumping across the mountains,
leaping over the hills he comes running to me.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I have-heard the voice of my beloved. He is-coming-towards (me) leaping/jumping over the mountains” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

It is as though he is leaping over the mountains
and skipping over the hills” (Source: Translation for Translators)
