Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 13:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “Jonadab said to Amnon that, ‘Pretend as if you are sick and go and lie down in bed. Then if/when your father comes to see you, tell him that, ‘Father, tell Tamar to come and give me food. I want her to prepare for me food here so that I watch and she alone gives me food.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then Jonadab said to him, "Lie down in bed, saying that you are ill. When your father comes to see you, speak to him like this, ‘Do [me] a kindness [and] let my younger sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat. Preparing food in my presence, I will see and I will eat from her hand what she prepares for me."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Jonadab said, ‘You (sing.) lay-down, and pretend-to-be-ill. When your father visits you, tell him that he will-allow Tamar to come to you to give- you -something-to-eat. Tell him also that you want to see Tamar preparing food at your side and you want that she should be- the -one-to-feed-by-hand you.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Jonadab said to him, ‘Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
