Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 11:6:
- Kankanaey: “he said, ‘If that is what they do now because their minds/thoughts and their language/speech are only-one, there-is-nothing that they will not be-capable-of in the future (lit. addition of days).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then He said — All these are of one ethnic group and are speakers of one language. This is just the beginning of the work they are about to do. From now on these [people] will be able to do anything they desire.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “He said, ‘These people are united/of-one-mind and they have only one language. And this [what] they are-doing is only the beginning yet of [what] they still will/would-do. In a short-time/[lit. in not long] they will-do whatever they want to-do.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Yahweh said, ‘These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
