complete verse (Judges 15:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 15:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “And/But when Samson was made to arrive in the city of Lehi, the Philistines ran and shouted happily. Soon after, Samson got the power of the Spirit of God. And when he was stretching himself, those ropes his upper arms had been tied with broke like thread burned by fire. After that, the ropes which were on his hands fell to the ground.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Right when Samson arrived in Lehi the Philistines came running shouting at him, Immediately the spirit of the LORD gave him strength. The ropes on his arms became like flax burned by fire. The ropes that bound him were broken.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When Samson was- now – brought to Lehi, he was-met by the Filistinhon who were-shouting. Samson was-empowered by the Spirit of the LORD, and he broke the ropes/chains/cords seemed-like just a thread which was-burned.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When they arrived at Lehi, the Philistines came toward him, shouting triumphantly. But Yahweh’s Spirit came upon Samson powerfully. He snapped the ropes on his arms as easily as if they were stalks of burned flax, and the ropes fell off his wrists.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
