Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 14:13:
- Kupsabiny: “Jonathan crawled up. That (aforementioned) person followed him immediately. Then he quickly attacked the Philistines and fought (them) while wrestling (them) down. That person holding for him the things of war followed him so he could finish off the wounded ones.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Jonathan went up, supported by hands and feet, and the one who was bringing [his] weapons also followed him. Jonathan attacked the Philistines and the man who came following him, bringing weapons, killed them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Jonatan crawled upwards, and the-one-who-carries his weapons-of-war followed. Jonatan killed the Filistinhon, and the-one-who-carries his weapons-of-war also did the same.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet because it was very steep. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
