Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 16:6:
- Kupsabiny: “If/When a person loves God and trusts him,
his sins will be washed away,
and when a person obeys God,
he stays away from sin.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Being one who is trustworthy,
by His never-ending love
your sin will be forgiven.
By the fear of the Lord,
people draw back from sin.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “If we (incl.) love the LORD with faithfulness, he will-forgive our (incl.) sins. If we (incl.) respect him, we (incl.) can-stay-away from wickedness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
