Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 16:3:

• Kupsabiny: “David asked Zipa that, ‘Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of Saul who was your master?’ (Then) Zipa replied that, ‘That one lived in Jerusalem and he was thinking he the people of Israel would return to him the chair of rulership that belonged to his grandfather Saul.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The king asked, "Where is your master’s grandchild?"
  Ziba said, "As for him, he is in Jerusalem, for he thinks [lit.: has put in mind] that the dynasty of Israel, his grandfather’s throne, will be given back to him."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “David asked, ‘Where is now Mefiboshet, the grandson of your master Saul?’ Ziba answered, ‘He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that the people of Israel will-cause- him-to-rule at this time in the kingdom of his grandfather.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The king said, ‘Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your former master Saul?’ Ziba deceived David by saying, ‘He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
