Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 1:8:

• Kupsabiny: “There/Then, Elkanah asked Hannah that, ‘My wife, why are you crying? What is hurting/grieving you so that you do not want to eat? Is it not better for you to have a husband who cares for you than ten sons?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Her husband Elkanah asked her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? Why do you stay without eating anything? Why are you being caused to feel so much sorrow? Am I not more to you than ten sons?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Elkana would-say to her, ‘Why are- you (sing.) -crying? Why do- you (sing.) not -want to-eat? Why are- you (sing.) -mourning? Is-it not that I (am) more to you (sing.) than ten children?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then Elkanah would say to her, ‘Hannah, why are you crying?/please quit crying! Why are you not eating?/Please eat something! Why are you so upset/sad? You have me; is that not more important to you than if you had ten sons? (OR, I love you more than your sons would love you, even if you had ten sons.)’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
