complete verse (1 Samuel 7:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 7:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “So now, all the Israelites came to Mispa. Those people fasted throughout the day and repented saying that, ‘We have committed sin before God.’ Then, they fetched water and poured (libation). Mispa was where Samuel started becoming the ruler/leader of the people of Israel.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So they all gathered in Mizpah, and, drawing water, they poured it out as an offering before the LORD. That day, confessing, "We have sinned against the LORD" they fasted the whole day. And Samuel became the leader of the Israelites in Mizpah.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When they had-assembled/gathered-together everyone at Mizpa, they took water and they poured- (it) -out in the presence of the LORD. On that day they fasted and confessed their sins that they made against the LORD. Samuel led/ruled the Israelinhon there at Mizpa.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So they gathered at Mizpah, which was the town where Samuel previously was the leader of the Israeli people. They had a big ceremony there. They drew water from a well, and poured the water on the ground while Yahweh watched. To show that they were sorry for having worshiped idols, they did not eat any food on that day, and they confessed that they had sinned against Yahweh.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
