Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 13:13:
- Kupsabiny: “How will I walk in front of people when you bring me such shame? You also will be shamed in the whole of Israel. Please, talk to the king. I am sure that that he will not prevent me from being your wife.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “How will I be able to keep on showing my face among people? And what will people say about you? You will be the most evil fool among all the Israelites. You should talk with the king about this matter and he will not refuse to let you marry me."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “What face could- I -show to the people? And you, you will-be-considered a fool in Israel. Just talk to our (incl.) father about this; surely he will-allow you to marry me.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
