Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 14:27:

• Kupsabiny: “But Jonathan had not heard that people had made an oath. He took the walking-stick he had and dipped (it) into the honey and then ate a small piece or that honey. From there/Then, he got strength.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “But Jonathan had not heard the report of his father’s causing the people to swear an oath. He pierced the beehive with the tip of the stick that he had. Then, lifting his hand, he took [it] into his mouth and ate. Then he knew that strength had come into his body.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “But Jonatan had- not -heard what his father had-sworn which should be-followed by the people. So he dipped the tip of his staff/walking-stick into the honey and ate, and his feeling became-better.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded because he had left the camp very early in the morning. So when he saw a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
