complete verse (Proverbs 30:33)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 30:33:

  • Kupsabiny: “If you shake milk, you get cheese/butter. And/or if you hit a person on the nose, it bleeds. But/And again if you disrupt/disturb people until they become angry, you will bring trouble/disaster.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When milk is churned there will be ghee,
    When the nose is hit, blood will come out,
    In just the same way, when anger is expressed,
    there will be disputes.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “(Is it) not so that if you (sing.) keep stirring the milk it will-produce butter? And (is it) not so that if you (sing.) punch the nose of a man it will-bleed? Therefore if you (sing.) provoke-to-anger a man, that will-start-up trouble.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Because if one shakes-back-and-forth and squeezes milk, there-will-be butter. If you (sing.) also hit/box the nose of your (sing.) fellow, blood will-come-out. Likewise also if you (sing.) make-worse your (sing.) anger, you (sing.) will-cause-there-to-be a quarrel/fight.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
