Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 19:30:

  • Kupsabiny: “All the people who saw this were dumbfounded and said, ‘A thing/word/event like this has never happened from the day the people of Israel left the country of Egypt. Let us think and see what we can do about this thing.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “And he commanded the men he sent saying like this, "has such things ever happened from the time that Israelites came out of Egypt till today? Think clearly about this and say what to do." All who saw this said — "From the time that the Israelites came out of Egypt till today, no such thing has ever happened nor has ever been seen.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Everyone who saw it said, ‘There-was-nothing ever that has-happened like this since the Israelinhon left Egipto. What do (you) think is good we (incl.) should do?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Everyone who saw a piece of the body and the message said, ‘Nothing like this has ever happened before. Not since our ancestors left Egypt have we heard of such a terrible thing. We need to think carefully about it. Someone should decide what we should do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
