complete verse (1 Samuel 22:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 22:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “I asked from God what he wanted him to do and it is not the first time for me to do like that. Don’t take me and my family that I did bad things because, I do not know anything concerning these things.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Yes, I have taken sides with him [and] this is not the first [time] I have gotten counsel [for him] from God. Let no one make your servant guilty of giving counsel to do false work against you. I do not know anything about this."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Yes, I asked- God -questions for him, and not only today, but-rather before also. But I beg you (sing.) not to-accuse me and my family, for I know nothing at-all about these happenings.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Furthermore, this was certainly not the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives of trying to get rid of you, because I do not know anything about anyone wanting to do that.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
