Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 5:26:
- Kupsabiny: “Then, God stirred up the king of Assyria who was called Tiglath-pileser (and in another name it/he was Pul) to fight Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh. That king caught those people and drove/took them to become slaves in his country. After that he gave (them) to live in the highlands of Halah, Habor, Hara and beside the river of Gozan. Those people stayed there from that time until today.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “So God provoked King Pul of Assyria (also called Tiglath-pileser) to attack their land. He seized and took away the people of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He took them away to Halah, Habor, Hara and to the bank of the Gozan river, [and] they are still living there to this day.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “That is why the God of Israel had-willed that King Pul of Asiria (who was also Tiglat Pileser) would-attack them. Pul took-as-captive the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manase and brought to Hala, Habor, Hara, and to the River Gozan, where they are there until now.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So the God whom the Israelis worshiped caused Pul, the king of Assyria, to conquer those tribes. Pul’s other name was Tiglath-Pileser. His army captured the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh, and took them to various places in Assyria: Halah, Habor, Hara and near the Gozan River. They have lived in those places from that time to the present time.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
