complete verse (1 Kings 16:31)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 16:31:

  • Kupsabiny: “Not only because he followed the sin of Jeroboam, but because he married a foreign woman who was called Jezebel who was the child of Ethbaal who was king of Sidon. Then, Ahab began his worship of Baal.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat were small to him. He committed much greater sins like marrying Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, King of Sidon and did puja to the god Baal.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He was- not even -content in following the sins that Jeroboam did, instead he also married Jezebel the child of King Etbaal of Sidon, and he served and worshipped little-god Baal.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married a woman named Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon city. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
