  • Kupsabiny: “So/Therefore, call (plur.) for me today the prophets of Baal, all the people who worship Baal and also all the burners of sacrifices. Not even one person should abscond/run away because I want to make amazing sacrifices to Baal. And/But the person who refuses to come, that one will not live.’ But Jehu was deceiving the people wanting to destroy all who worshiped Baal.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So now summon all the prophets of Baal, those who do puja to him and the priests (Baal priests). Do not leave out a single one. For I am about to offer a great sacrifice to Baal. If anyone does not come, he will be killed." But Jehu was being a deceiver intending to kill those who did puja to Baal.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So [you (plur.)] have- all the prophets and priest of Baal -come to me here, and all who serve him. (It is) necessary that all of them are-here, for I will-offer a great sacrifice for Baal. The one-who does- not -come I will-have-killed.’ But Jehu was- just -pretending/(acting-deceptively) so-that he could-kill those who serve Baal.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So now summon all the prophets of Baal, all of Baal’s priests, and all the others who worship Baal. I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. I want all of them to be there. Any of them who is not there will be executed.’ But Jehu was planning to trick them; he was planning to kill all those who worshiped Baal.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
