Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 8:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “Samuel told them that, ‘This is how the person you want to rule you will handle you. He will take your sons to become his soldiers. He will make others to serve as soldiers using chariots. Then others will become soldiers of war using horses and others will be running in front of his chariot.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The king who rules over you will be like this, he will take your sons and cause them to do the work of riding horses and on chariots, and [he] will take them away to make them run before his chariot. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Samuel said, ‘This is what the king who reigns-over you (plur.) will-do: he will-take your (plur.) male children and he will-make (them) soldiers. Some of them he will- make charioteers, others horse-riders, and others will-go-ahead his chariot.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He said, ‘If a king rules over you, this is what he will do to you: He will force many of your sons to join the army. He will make some of them run in front of his chariots to clear people out of his way.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
