Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 17:16:

• Kupsabiny: “Then, Hushai told both of these people of sacrifices that, ‘Send mouth/message immediately to go to where David is telling (him) that he should not sleep at the crossing of the river, but (he/they) should cross Jordan immediately and go towards the wilderness so that they were not all found and killed.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Hushai also said, "Now do it quickly! Send a message to the king that without passing the night at the edge of the wilderness, [you must] pass quickly over the river, otherwise "you and your people may fall into the hands of the enemy or have fear of being killed."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then he said to them, ‘Let- David -know immediately that he should- not -remain at the place-of-crossing of the River Jordan in the desolate-place tonight, but they should-cross-over the river right-away so-that they will- not all -die.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then he said to them, ‘Send a message quickly to David. Tell him to not stay at the place where people walk across the river, near the desert. Instead, he and his soldiers must cross the Jordan River immediately, in order that they will not be killed/wiped out.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
