complete verse (2 Samuel 16:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 16:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “The king replied to Abishai and his brother Joab that, ‘What do we have in common with you sons of Zeruiah? If Shimei insults me because God has told (it) to him, there is no one who can ask him that, ‘Why do you insult the king?’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But the king said, "O sons of Zeruiah why are you concerned for me? If the LORD has told him to curse David, who [is] to restrain him?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But the king said, ‘You (plur.) children of Zeruiah, what have- you (plur.) to-do-with-it? If the LORD commanded him to curse me, who am I to stop him?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But the king replied, ‘You two sons of Zeruiah, do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that. ’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
