complete verse (Daniel 4:18)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 4:18:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, you Belteshazzar, please show me what these dreams imply. Tell me because not even one of the wise men of my kingdom may be able to show me what these dreams imply. But you can (do it) because you have the spirits of the holy gods.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “’This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar saw. Now, O Belteshazzar, tell me its meaning. For there is no one else in my country who has the insight to be able to tell me its meaning. But you will be able because you have the spirit of the holy gods.’ ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘That was my dream. So I, King Nebuchadnezzar, said to Belteshazar, ‘Tell me the meaning of this for no wise [man] at-all in my kingdom who can-tell me its meaning. But you (sing.) can-tell because the spirit of the holy gods is with/in you (sing.).’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Belteshazzar, that is what I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw in my dream. Now tell me what the dream means. No one else can tell me. I asked all the very wise men in my kingdom to tell me what it means, but they were unable to do that. But you can tell me, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
