complete verse (2 Chronicles 25:16)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 25:16:

  • Kupsabiny: “But Amaziah quickly launched out against that man saying, ‘Away from here, be quiet! Have you really been made my adviser? Do you want to be killed?’ That prophet did not continue. But when he was about to go away he said to Amaziah, ‘I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done these things and you have not accepted me to advise you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “While he was speaking like this Amaziah said to him, "Since when have you become one who gives counsel to the king? Keep silent, otherwise I will have you killed."
    The prophet became silent, but having said this much he stopped speaking, "I know that God has certainly decided to destroy you. Because you have done all this and have had no concern for my advice."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “While the prophet was speaking, the king replied, ‘Why do you advise me? Have I appointed you as an adviser? Keep quiet, for if not I will-have you kill.’ So the prophet kept-quiet after he spoke this: ‘Surely God will-destroy you (sing.) because you had-worshipped little-gods/false-gods and you did- not -listen to me.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “While he was still speaking, the king said to him, ‘We certainly did not appoint you to be one of my advisors. So stop talking! If you say anything more, I will tell my soldiers to kill you!’
    So the prophet said, ‘I know that God has determined to get rid of you, because you have begun to worship idols, and have not heeded my advice.’ Then the prophet said nothing more.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
