complete verse (1 Chronicles 28:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 28:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “And you my son Solomon, you must know the God of your father well and accept to serve him with your whole stomach. God examines how every person is and he knows the plans and thoughts of people. If you go to God, he will help you, but if you abandon (him), he will turn his back on you forever.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Oh my son Solomon, get to know the God of your father. And serve Him with body and mind. He knows all our thoughts and desires. He knows all our thoughts and desires. If you seek him, you will meet him, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you forever. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘And you (sing.), Solomon my child, acknowledge and serve the God of your (sing.) father with all your (sing.) heart and mind/thought, for the LORD sees every heart and he knows our (incl.) motives and thoughts. If you (sing.) take-refuge in him, he will-help you (sing.); but if you (sing.) turn-away from him, he will-reject you (sing.) forever/[lit. until whenever].” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek to know him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
