complete verse (2 Chronicles 11:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 11:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “not to fight their brothers. I am the one who prepared these matters to happen. So/Therefore, each person is to return to his home.’ When those people heard the words that God was saying, they returned home and did not go to fight Jeroboam.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “This is what the LORD says, ‘Do not go up to make war upon your elder and younger brothers. All of you go back to your own houses, for this is something I have done.’" So they obeyed the word of the LORD and returned without fighting with Jeroboam.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “that I, the LORD, says: ‘Do not fight-against your blood-relatives. [You (plur.)] go home, for this is all my will.’ ’ They obeyed the LORD and they did- not -attack Jeroboam.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against the people of Israel; they are your distant relatives. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’’ So Shemaiah went and told that to them, and they all heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam and his soldiers.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
