Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 18:12:

• Kupsabiny: “That person replied that, ‘Even if you gave me one thousand silver pieces, I cannot kill the son of the king. It is true we all heard when the king told you together with Abishai and Ittai that, ‘Beat the young man Absalom with a leaf (be lenient).’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “But that man replied, "Even if you were to give me a thousand pieces of silver, I could not lift my hand against the king’s son. For I heard the king give an order like this to you, Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake, whoever encounters that young Absalom, don’t let [him] kill him.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “But the man answered, ‘Even if you will-give me 1,000 (pieces of) silver I will- not -kill the child of the king. We (excl.) heard what the king commanded you, Abishai, and Itai, that you (plur.) should- not -harm the young Absalom because of him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The man replied to Joab, ‘Even if you gave me 1,000 pieces of silver, I would not have done anything to harm the king’s son. We all heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake, do not harm my son Absalom!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
