Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 15:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “Absalom would get up early in the morning to stand by the road side where the gate of the city was. If/When someone came who had a word/issue he wanted the king to settle, he called that person and asked that, ‘Where do you come from?’ And if that person replies that I come from such and such a clan in Israel,” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He would get up early in the morning and stand near the road to the main gate of the city. Then when any person would come to the king’s place to request judgment, Absalom would call to that person and ask, "Which city do you come from?" Then that person would answer like this, "Please look, I am from one of the tribes of Israel."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Every morning he would-get-up early and stand at the side of the road leading to the entrance/gate of the city. If a person comes who has a case that wants to-be-settled by the king, he/she asks where is he/she comes-from, and the person tells what tribe of Israel he/she belongs to.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Furthermore, he always rose early each morning and stood by the city gate. Whenever someone came there with a dispute/quarrel that he wanted the king to decide, Absalom would call out to him, asking ‘What city are you from?’ When the person told him what city and tribe he was from,” (Source: Translation for Translators)
