Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 11:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then she saw king Joash standing by the pillar as the custom was for anointing a king. Athaliah also saw the commanders of the soldiers and the people who were blowing horns. There was also many other people from the land. Some of the people were blowing horns, others ululating from happiness. But as soon as Athaliah saw all these things, (she) tore her clothes and shouted loudly, ‘Treason! Treason!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “There she saw the King standing by the pillar in accordance with the custom. The captains and the trumpet blowers were standing alongside the King. The trumpets were blowing while all the people of the land were rejoicing. Then Athaliah, tearing her robe yelled at the top of her voice, "You have betrayed me, you are traitors."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And she saw there the new king who was-standing near the pillar/post, according to the custom at the time of proclaiming the king. There at the side of the king the commanders and the trumpeters, and all the people there were-rejoicing and blowing the trumpets. When Atalia saw this, she tore her clothes in despair/[lit. (because)-of her bad feeling], and shouted, ‘Traitors! Traitors!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and some of them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes to show her distress and shouted, ‘You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
