complete verse (1 Samuel 9:24)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 9:24:

  • Kupsabiny: “That person brought a hind leg and gave it to Saul. Then Samuel told Saul that, ‘This is your meat which had been kept for you. So, eat this meat because it had earlier on been kept for you for this day.’ On that day, Samuel and Saul had a meal together.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So those who had prepared [the meal] brought the thigh and leg of the sacrificial animal which they had prepared and placed it before Saul. Then Samuel said, "This is the portion of meat that [I] have kept for you. Please eat, I have invited guest, I had kept this for you to eat with my guest." So Saul ate and drank with Samuel that day.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So the cook took the leg and set/placed (it) in-front of Saul. Samuel said to Saul, ‘Okay, eat, for I set- that -aside for you (sing.) for this occasion together-with the people who I invited.’ So Saul ate with Samuel on that day.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So the cook brought the leg and the meat that was on it, and set it in front of Saul, even though those portions were for only the priest to eat. Samuel said to Saul, ‘Start eating it. I told the cook to save this for you, so that you could eat it at this time, when all these people whom I invited are here.’ So Saul and Samuel ate together.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
