Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 7:8:
- Kupsabiny: “He built the fourth house which he lived in. That house was similar to the House of Kingship. That house was located at the back of the House of Kingship. But/And the fifth one was one which was similar to his own (house) which he built for his wife, the daughter of the king of Egypt.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Around toward the back he built the palace where he lived, just like the room of justice. For Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married, he also built a large room like that.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The part of the palace where Solomon is-living is just at the back of the building where he make-judgements, and it built the same. It is also the same design/[lit. face] of the house which he had-made for his wife who is the child of the king of Egipto.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
