Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 9:7:
- Kupsabiny: “Oh our God, you do truth always, but we brought to ourselves shame. This is true on our side who belong to Judah and Jerusalem and all the people of Israel whom you have scattered to other nations both near and far, because we refused to listen to you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “O Lord! You are a righteous one, but today our faces are covered with shame. Because we did not put our trust in you have scattered us, the people of Judah, Jerusalem and Israel, in near and distant lands.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘You (sing.) are very righteous, Lord, but we (excl.) on-the-other-hand are shameful even now. This (is) true of all the residents of Juda and Jerusalem, and to all Israelinhon whom you (sing.) scattered to near and far places because of their disobedience to you (sing.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed. This is still true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is also true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who were taken to other countries, some near Israel and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
