Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 41:21:
- Kankanaey: “but there was no means-of-distinguishing that they had eaten-(them), because so-it-was just the same that they were extremely-skinny. Then I woke-up.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Newari: “Even though they had eaten like this, no one could tell that they had eaten. For they were just as thin as they had been before. Just at that time I woke up.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But after they ate, it just seemed that it would not be-known that they had eaten for they were still thin same-as-always. Then I woke up.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
