Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 14:13:

• Kupsabiny: “That woman said that, ‘Why have you treated your home/family so badly like this and these are people whom God has chosen? You did not allow your son who escaped to come back. Your mouth has tied you alone/yourself on account of the words you have just said.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The woman said, "Why have you done such evil to God’s people? You have not yet invited your son back again. By the words you yourself have spoken, you have become a sinner.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The woman said, ‘It is not a sin for you to go-against the people of God that you will-protect my child but your child on-the-other-hand who was-driven-out you would- not -let- (him) -come-back?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The woman said, ‘Why have you done this bad thing to God’s people? You have not allowed your son Absalom to return home. By saying what you have just said, you have certainly declared that what you have done is wrong.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
