I don't know Toki Pona at all, but can you check that both #2295450 and #2296710 are valid translations of this sentence? They seem quite different to me.

Yes, they are valid translations. The chain of translations follows:
#2295450 -> this one -> #2296710

Toki Pona is the language which has about 120 words only, so it forces its users to express any idea extremely simply to fit in so limited vocabulary and also in its severely restrictive syntax.

P.S.
I have changed slightly the sentence #2296710 for it become even more precise translation of this Toki Pona sentence. I hope it would not considerably affect its meaning, so translations of this sentence into other languages remain valid.
