Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 25:34:

  • Kupsabiny: “But truly in the name of the God of Israel who blocked me from doing anything bad to you, if you had not hurried to meet me, by sunrise tomorrow, I would have completely destroyed Nabal and all his people!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “For as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel lives, who shaved you from harm, I say that, if you had not met with me quickly like this, by tomorrow morning not a single man who lives in Nabal’s family would have survived. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If you had- not -come-quickly to-meet-together with me, not one of the men of Nabal would-have been-left alive by in the morning. For that was what I swore to the living LORD, the God of Israel, who has-prevented/kept me from doing evil to you (sing.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Just as surely as Yahweh the God whom we Israelis worship is alive, he has prevented me from harming you. If you had not come quickly to talk to me, neither Nabal nor even one of Nabal’s men would be still alive tomorrow morning.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
