Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 7:9:

• Kupsabiny: “After that, those people said to one another, ‘We are not doing something good. This is a day of good news. If we keep quiet until morning, bad things will happen to us. So, let us go and tell (it) to the people of the home of the king.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “They spoke to one another, "It is not good that we do like this. Today is a day to tell good news. It is not good to hide this news. If we do not tell this news to anyone by tomorrow morning, we will be punished. Now, let’s go immediately to tell this news to the royal palace."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Some time-later they talked-to-each-other, ‘This is not right. We (incl.) should have told-the-news this day that the enemies had- already -fled, but we (incl.) just kept it (for ourselves). If we (incl.) wait-until-tomorrow to tell of this, surely we (incl.) will-be-punished. Come, let- us (incl.) -go now and we (incl.) will-tell it to the palace of the king.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “But then they said to each other, ‘We are not doing what is right. We have good news to tell others today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished by Yahweh. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
