Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 12:18:

• Kupsabiny: “After seven days had passed, that child died. The servants of David became afraid to show/reveal to him that the child had died. Those people thought that, ‘If the king could not listen to us when the child was still alive, how shall we tell him now that the child has died? Might he not do a bad thing?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “On the seventh day the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child had died. They said "Before the child died we spoke to him but he would not listen to us. [So] now how will we tell him that the child has died? May he do something harming himself?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “On the seventh day, the child died. The servants of David were-afraid to tell him that the child is dead already. They said, ‘How can- we (incl.) -tell him that the child is dead already? He did- not even -pay-attention when we (incl.) tried-to-encourage/comfort him when the child was still alive, how much more now that the child is now dead. Not sure what he will-do to himself!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said to each other, ‘Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead , he may do something to harm himself!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
