Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 3:15:
- Kupsabiny: “But now, bring to me a person who plays the lyre.’ And when that person played the lyre, the power of God came on Elisha.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Now please bring a man to me who plays the harp."
While that man was playing the harp power of the LORD came down upon Elisha.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Alright, bring me here a man who knows-how to play the harp.’
While the harp was-being-played, Elisha was-empowered by the LORD,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “But, bring a musician to me.’
So they did that. And when the musician played on his harp, the power of Yahweh came on Elisha.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
