Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 30:5:
- Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
“For his anger stays for some time
but his kindness is for a lifetime;
you can spend the whole night crying,
but joy comes in the morning.” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation) - Newari:
“His anger is only for a little while,
His mercy lasts until death.
Even though I have to weep all night, in the morning I will have joy.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon:
“For his anger does- not -last-long,
but his goodness continues forever.
Perhaps we (incl.) (are) sad/sorrowing at night,
but when- morning -comes we (incl.) will- -be-happy.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - Eastern Bru:
“for in his heart he is displeased only for a moment, but his mercy is with me all my life. Even though my tears flow in the evening, when morning comes I have joy again.” (Source: Bru Back Translation) - Laarim:
“He does not angry for long,
but his goodness remain forever,
crying would stay for only one night,
but in morning, the happiness comes.” (Source: Laarim Back Translation) - Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
“Kwa maana hasira zake ni za wakati mfupi tu,
lakini baraka zake ni za milele na milele.
Kulia machozi kunaendelea usiku wote,
lakini furaha inakuja asubuhi.” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation) - English:
“When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time,
but he is good to us all of our life.
We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
