complete verse (1 Samuel 2:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 2:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “That servant of the priests used to come early before they could even burn the fat parts as a sacrifice to God, and he would tell the person burning the sacrifice that, ‘The priest doesn’t want cooked meat, but he needs raw one to be roasted for him.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But now, before burning the fat, the priest’s assistant would say to the person offering the sacrifice, "Give me some meat to prepare for the priest. He will not take meat which has been boiled, [he] will only take raw [meat]."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And even before the fat of the meat was-burned, their servant would- aproach/come-near to the man who was- sacrificing and say, ‘Give the priest (some) meat for roasting. He will- not -accept the boiled (meat); he wants raw.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Furthermore, before the fat on the meat was cut off and and burned as a sacrifice to Yahweh, the servant of the priest would sometimes come to the man who was making the sacrifice and say to him, ‘Give me some meat now to take to the priest for him to roast! He wants raw meat; he does not want boiled meat.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
