Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 40:8:
- Kankanaey: “‘Yes indeed, because we (excl.) two dreamed last night, and absolutely no one is-able-to-interpret what our (excl.) dreams mean (lit. want) to say,’ they said. ‘God only is the one who gives skill/wisdom to interpret dreams. Please tell me those-aforementioned that you have dreamed,’ said Jose.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Newari: “They said — ‘The two of us have both had dreams. But there is no one here to tell us their meaning.'” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “They replied, ‘We had-a-dream but there is no one to explain the meaning.’ Jose said, ‘God is the one who gives wisdom to explain the meaning of the dreams. Please tell me what are your (pl.) dreams.'” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “One of them answered, ‘We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.’ Joseph said to them, ‘God is the only one who can tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.'” (Source: Translation for Translators)
