Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 10:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then, the man in charge of the house/palace of the king, the man who was in charge of that city together with (the) elders and those who guarded the sons of Ahab sent a message to Jehu. (It) said to him, ‘We are your servants/slaves and we are accepting to do everything that you tell us. We shall not appoint a person to be king, but you (sing.) do what you want.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So the palace and city administrators, the elders and those who cared for the king’s sons agreed and replied to Jehu like this, "We are your servants. We hear the message you have spoken. But we will not make anyone king. Whatever you want to do, do it!’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So the palace administrator, the city governor, the rulers, and those who-take-care of the descendants of King Ahab wrote to Jehu. This is their letter: ‘We (excl.) are your (sing.) servants, and we (excl.) will-do all that you (sing.) will-command. We (excl.) will- not -choose another/a different king; do what is good for you (sing.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So the officer who was in charge of the palace and the mayor of the city sent a message to Jehu saying, ‘We want to serve you, and we are ready to do whatever you tell us to do. We will not appoint anyone to become our king. You do whatever you think is best.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
