complete verse (1 Samuel 25:17)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 25:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, think and see what you will do, because those things may bring disaster/death to the old man and all his family. And/But your husband is a rude man and no one can tell him anything that he will listen to.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Now you need to think carefully about what needs to be done, for destruction is certainly about to come to our master and his family. He is such a rogue of a man [that] no one would even talk with him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now [you (sing.)] think-about what you (sing.) have-done, because disaster is-coming to your (sing.) husband and to his whole household. In/(because of) his wickedness no one talks to him.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So now you should think about it and decide what you can do. If you do not do something, terrible things will happen to our master and to all his family. Nabal is an extremely wicked man, with the result that he will not heed anyone when that person tries to tell him anything that he should do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
