complete verse (1 Kings 15:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 15:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “He also sent away his grandmother Maacah so that she could no longer remain a woman who is a ruler because she had molded an idol which was like Asherah. Then Asa cut that thing which was like Asherah and burnt it in the valley of Kidron.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He removed his grandmother, Maacah, from the position of queen mother because she had made an idol of the repulsive goddess, Asherah. Asa cut that idol down. Then he broke it to pieces and had it burned by the Kidron river.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Including his grandmother Maaca he removed from being-a-queen, for she had-made detestable seems-like-pole that symbolizes the goddess Ashera. Asa had-cut-down this seems-like-pole and had-(it)-burned in Kidron place-where- water -flows.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government because of being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting wooden statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa told his workers to cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
