Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 14:20:

• Kupsabiny: “But, he did like that, because he wanted to straighten up this word/thing. I know that you are wise because God has anointed you, and you know each and everything that happens.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Your servant Joab has done this to change the current situation. You are one who has wisdom like an angel of God and you understand all that happens in this land."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “He did this so-that your relation with Absalom will-become-good. But you understand this, Beloved King, for you are like an angel of God — you know everything that happens in our (incl.) nation.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “He did it in order to cause you to think differently about this matter. Your Majesty, you are as wise as God’s angels, and it seems that you know everything that happens on the earth, so you know why Joab sent me here.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
