Let us teach you something.’ Then, Jonathan told that person holding his war things that, ‘Follow me as we climb. God has given the Israelites the victory.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then crying out loudly to Jonathan and to the man carrying [his] weapons, they said, "You come here immediately. There is something we need to teach you." So Jonathan said to the one bringing [his] weapons, "Come following me, the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They then shouted to Jonatan and the-one-who-carries his weapons-of-war, ‘[You (plur.)] come-up here to-us (excl.), for we (excl.) will-teach you (plur.) a lesson!’ So Jonatan said to the-one-who-carries his weapons-of-war, ‘[You (sing.)] follow me for surely the LORD will-cause- them -to-be-defeated by Israel.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, ‘Come up here, and we will teach you something about how to fight !’
    Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, ‘Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
