complete verse (2 Samuel 17:18)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 17:18:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then/At that point a boy saw those people. That boy went and told Absalom what he had seen. After Jonathan and Ahimaaz had known/learned that they had been seen, they escaped/fled to the town of Bahurim. Then when they reached there, they went to a certain home. The owner of that home had a well of water which was big in his courtyard. Those people entered that well.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But at this time a young man saw them. Then he went and told Absalom. So, feeling that it was urgent, both of them went to the house of a person in Bahurim and stayed [there]. It happened that there was a well in front of that house and they went into that well.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But now, there was a young man who saw them, and told Absalom about them. So the two of them left quickly, and went to the house of a man in Bahurim. This man has a well in his courtyard, and Jonatan and Ahimaaz went-down into this well to hide.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But a young man saw them, and went and reported it to Absalom. They found out what the young man had done, so both of them left quickly and went to stay in the house of a man in Bahurim. That man had a well in his courtyard; so the two men went down into the well to hide.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
