Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 20:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “It is not you who shall fight this battle. Just stand in lines and do not disturb yourselves. (You) people of Judah and Jerusalem, you shall see with your own eyes God fighting the battle for you until you get victory. So, do not be afraid and do not lose hope but go to those people tomorrow!’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] do- not -need to fight. [You (plur.)] just be ready and stand-firm, and [you (plur.)] see the victory that the LORD will-do for you (plur.). You who of/from-Juda and of/from-Jerusalem, [you (plur.)] do- not -be-afraid or discouraged. [You (plur.)] face them tomorrow and the LORD will-be-with you (plur.).’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But you will not need to fight this battle. You soldiers from Jerusalem and other places in Judah, just take your positions, and then stand still and watch what will happen. You will see Yahweh rescue you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. March toward them tomorrow, and Yahweh will be with you.’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
