Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 22:17:
- Kupsabiny: “The people of Judah have refused me and they make sacrifices to the idols of other communities. I am so angry with those people that I can no longer bear it.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “They have abandoned me and burned incense before other gods. My anger has been provoked by the idols they have made with their hands. So my anger is bursting out against this place. And it will not subside.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I will- surely -show my anger against this place and this will- not -be-stopped, for my people have-rejected me and they have-burnt incense in-worship to other gods. They have really cause- me -to-be-angry by what they have-done.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to honor other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by worshiping all the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like a fire that will not be put out.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
