  • Kupsabiny: “But the king said to Araunah that, ‘Not at all! I shall buy these things with the money that are needed/enough. I will not make sacrifices to God from a thing that is free/without cost.’ So, David used fifty pieces of silver to but with them the place and the oxen.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But the king replied, "No, I will give you the full price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD by taking things from you that cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver [lit.: silver coins].” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But David replied to him, ‘I will- not -accept this for free; I will- surely -pay you. I will- not -offer/sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that have cost me nothing.’ So David bought the place-of-threshing and the cattle with the amount of 50 pieces of silver.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But the king said to Araunah, ‘No, I will not take these things as a gift. I will pay you for it. I will not take sacrifices that have cost me nothing, and offer them to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.’ So he paid 50 pieces of silver to Araunah for the oxen and the ground.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
