Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Song of Solomon 1:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “Your oil/perfume is wafting sweetly.
    Your name is sweet
    like a perfume that smells sweet,
    yes, it is not for nothing that the maidens love you!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “I am very happy with the fragrance of your perfume,
    your name is like fragrant perfume poured out.
    So it is not surprising for you to be liked by the girls!” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Your (sing.) perfumes (are) very sweet-smelling/fragrant, and how good (is) your (sing.) name. (It is) no wonder that the young-ladies/unmarried-ladies like/love you (sing.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The fragrance of the cologne on your skin is very sweet/pleasing.
    And your reputation is very good and spreads,
    like the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin.
    That is why the other young women are attracted to you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
