  • Kupsabiny: “(Then) Gad went to David and said to (him) that, ‘These are the words that God has given you to choose one of: Maybe famine shall come for three years, or your enemies shall chase you for three months, or serious illness/death shall come to you in your country for three days. Consider carefully what you shall answer God.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So Gad went to David’s place again and told that [to him]. "The LORD has spoken like this — ‘Choose what you like — three years of famine, or three months fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you, or for three days, an epidemic takes place in Israel.’ Now you decide what answer I am to give the LORD."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So Gad went to David and said to him, ‘Which of this you want: Three years of famine in your nation, three months of fleeing from your (plur.) enemies while they pursue you (plur.), or three days of plague in your nation? Think it carefully, and let- me -know what will- I -answer the LORD who sent me.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So Gad went to David and told him what Yahweh had said. He said to David, ‘You can choose whether there will be three years of famine in your land, or three months of your army running away from your enemies, or three days when there will be a plague/very severe illness in your land. You think about it and choose which one you want, and tell me, and I will return to Yahweh and tell him what your answer is.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
