complete verse (1 Samuel 13:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 13:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “But your kingdom has ended there, because you have not honored/feared God. God has appointed someone else whom he loves/accepts and relies on, to rule his people.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But now your kingdom will not be forever. The LORD has searched for a man matching his heart. And he has been established as leader of Israel, because you did not obey the command of the LORD."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But that will- not -happen any longer, for the LORD has already found the man conforms to his desires/wishes, and he has-made him leader of his people, because you (sing.) have- not -obeyed his command.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But now because of what you have done, you will die, and after you die, none of your descendants will rule. Yahweh is seeking for a man to be king who will be just the kind of person that he wants him to be, so that he can appoint him to be the leader of his people. Yahweh will do this because you have not obeyed what he commanded.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
