complete verse (1 Samuel 10:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 10:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “After that, go to the hill for burning sacrifices. That is where Philistine soldiers are staying in Geba. When you are about to reach that place, you will meet a group of God’s prophets descending from the mountain where they have just been burning sacrifices. Those prophets are singing and playing lyres, blowing flutes, shaking tambourines and revealing words from God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “From there you will come to Gibeah, the place for the worship of God. The camp of the Philistines is there. As soon as you get near the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the place of worship, playing stringed instruments, holding tambourines, blowing flutes and playing lyres. Verse(s) are missing” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When- you (sing.) -reach the hill/mountain of God at Gibea, where the Filistinhon have a camp, you (sing.) will-meet a group of prophets coming-down from the-place-of-worship at the high place. They will-be-playing a harp, tabourine, flute and lyre, and speaking a message of God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When you arrive at the hill where people worship God near Gibeah town, where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing various musical instruments: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
