Then, those people threw the person who was being buried where the body of Elisha was kept. And when the body of that person touched the bones of Elisha, that person immediately became alive and stood up.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Once when the Israelites were burying one who had died, they saw a group of Moabites coming. So they threw the corpse in Elisha’s tomb just like that and ran away. Because it touched the bones there of Elisha’s corpse, he came to life and stood on his feet.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “One time, there-were some Israelinhon who were-going-to-bury/[lit. wish particle will-bury] a dead-(body). But when they saw a group of Moabnon that was-attacking, they hurriedly enter the corpse/dead-body into the burial-place/tomb of Elisha and fled. As the corpse touched the bones of Elisha, the dead-one came-to-life and stood-(up).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. They were afraid, so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha had been buried, and they ran away.
    But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
