Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 2:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “When Eli’s sons were priests, people used to bring their things to be burnt as sacrifices. And when meat was cooking/burning, the servant of the altar would come with a two or three forked stick” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The practice the priests did the people like this — When anyone would bring a sacrifice, while its meat was being boiled, the priest’s helper would come holding a 3-pronged fork.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “because they would- not -follow the regulations/[lit. that-which-is-to-be-followed] regarding the portion/share that the priest receives from the offering of the people. This is what they would-do when there-was-someone (who) offers/sacrifices: While the meat that was-offered was-being-boiled, they would-have- their servant -go there bringing a big fork that has three teeth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “While the people were boiling the meat from their sacrifices in the huge pot at the temple, one of Eli’s sons, would send his servant to come with a large three-pronged fork in his hand.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
