complete verse (1 Samuel 19:24)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 19:24:

  • Kupsabiny: “Saul undressed what he had put on and started prophesying before Samuel. Saul lay down naked for the whole of that day and night until dawn. That is what prompted people to ask themselves that, ‘Hey, has Saul also become a prophet of God?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “There he took his clothes off and lay down on the ground naked all day and all night prophesying before Samuel. So people started saying, "What! Does Saul also belong to the group of the prophets?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When he (was) now there, he stripped-off his clothes and spoke the message of God before/[lit. in front of] Samuel. He lay-down naked all day and night. This is the reason why the people asked, ‘Has- Saul now -became a prophet?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and they say, ‘We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul acting like a prophet?’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
