Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 22:9:
- Kupsabiny: “After that, he gave people to go around hunting for Ahaziah until they caught him in Samaria where he was hiding. Then, he was taken to where Jehu was and he was killed. After that, he was buried and people said, ‘He was a grandson of Jehoshaphat who had committed himself completely to God.’ There was no person in the house of Ahaziah who was fit to replace his father.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “After that he searched for Aहhaziah. Jehu’s men found him in Samaria. They brought Ahaziah to Jehu and [he] killed [him]. But doing honor to his grandfather Jehoshaphat, they buried his corpse. Jehoshaphat had obeyed the commands of the LORD from his inmost heart. In this way there was no one in the clan of Ahaziah who was able to rule.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Then Jehu searched/[lit. looked] for Ahazia in his men, and they saw him hiding in the city of Samaria. They brought him to Jehu and killed (him). But they buried his corpes because of their respect to his grandfather which (is) Jehoshafat, for they said, ‘He is the grandson of Jehoshafat, the man who took-refuge in the LORD with all his heart.’
Now(discourse marker) there was no one left member of the family of Ahazia who is-able-to reign.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “Then Jehu went to find Ahaziah, and his soldiers found Ahaziah while he was hiding in Samaria city. They brought him to Jehu and executed him. Then they buried his corpse, because they said, ‘He deserves to be buried, because he was a descendant of Jehoshaphat, who tried hard to please Yahweh.’ There were no descendants of Ahaziah who were powerful enough to become the kings of Judah.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
