Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 6:3:

• Kupsabiny: “Those people replied that, ‘Don’t return it empty/with nothing. See that you return that Box with a sacrifice so that the evil/mistake can be appeased. If you do like that, you will be safe, and that is when you will know that it is indeed that thing which caused the God of Israel to punish you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “They replied, "In case it happens, if you send the ark of the God of Israel back, do not send it empty, but also send a proper guilt sacrifice for him. Then [you] will recover from your disease and you will understand why [He] has not removed from you the hand that [He] lifted.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They answered, ‘If you (plur.) return the Box of the God of Israel, you (plur.) should return this with an offering as payment for sin. In this way you (plur.) will-be-healed and you (plur.) will-know why he is-punishing you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Those men replied, ‘Send with it an offering to show Yahweh that you know that you are guilty for having captured the chest, in order that the plague will stop. If you do that, and then if you are healed, you will know that Yahweh is the one who caused you to experience the plague.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
