complete verse (2 Kings 5:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 5:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “That man brought the letter to the king of Israel. The words which were in the letter were these: ‘When you receive this letter, know that I have sent my servant Naaman who has leprosy so that you can heal him.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The letter that he took to the King of Israel was written like this, "I have sent my servant Naaman to you with this letter. Please, you cure his Infectious Skin Diseases."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “This is the message of the letter which he brought to the king: ‘I am-sending my servant Naaman there so-that you can-cure him of his disease on the skin.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The king said to him, ‘Okay, go and see the prophet. I will write a letter for you to take to the king of Israel, saying that I sent you.’ The king wrote in the letter, ‘I am sending this letter with my army commander Naaman, who serves me faithfully. I want you to heal him of his disease.’ So Naaman, assuming/thinking that the king of Israel was the prophet, took the letter and 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and ten sets of clothing, to give to the king of Israel, and he went to Samaria, taking along several servants.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
