Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 6:32:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, The king sent his helper to go to where Elisha was. At that time Elisha was sitting in his home together with some elders. But before that person arrived, Elisha said to the elders, ‘Listen, elders, that murderer has sent a person to come and kill me. When he arrives here, close (him) outside, since his master will arrive soon.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The king sent a messenger to Elisha. At that time Elisha was sitting in his house with Israelite elders who came to meet with him. Before the King’s man arrived, Elisha said to those elders, "That murderer has sent a man here to cut off my head. When that man arrives here, shut the door, do not take him in. Following him the King will arrive.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, Elisha was- sitting in his house talking-together with the rulers of Israel. The king sent a man ahead of him there to Elisha. But before the one-sent of the king arrived, Elisha said to the ruler, ‘Our (incl.) king who is a murderer sent a man to cut-off my head. If the man indeed arrives you (plur.) lock the door and do- not -let- him -enter. The king himself [linker]/who is his master follows him.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So the king sent an officer to get Elisha.
    Before the officer arrived, Elisha was sitting in his house with some Israeli elders who were talking with him. Elisha said to them, ‘That murderer, the king of Israel, is sending someone here to kill me. Listen: When he arrives, shut the door and do not allow him to come in. And the king will be coming right behind that officer!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
