complete verse (1 Samuel 14:41)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 14:41:

  • Kupsabiny: “After that Saul prayed to God that, ‘Oh, God, you have not replied me today. God, show me whether anyone has done you wrong. If it is me or my son Jonathan, let it be seen in Urim, and if it is these people, it will be shown in Thummim.’ Then lots were cast. When they did like that, those things caught Jonathan and Saul, but all the other people were innocent.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So Saul prayed to the LORD, the God of Israel in this way, "Today, why have you not answered your servant? "LORD God of Israel, show me who is guilty and who is not guilty. If it is the case that this fault is mine or my son Jonathan’s, O Lord, God of Israel, when the lot is cast, may their lot be ‘Urim". If it is the case that the fault is with the Israelites, may their lot be ‘Thummim’."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then Saul prayed, ‘LORD, God of Israel, let- us (excl.) -know who has-sinned.’ And by-means of casting-lots, Jonatan and Saul (were) the-(ones) selected-by-lots to-have-sinned and not the people.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, ‘Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.’ Then the priest cast lots/threw the stones that were marked, and they indicated that it was either Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
