Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 19:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “But Absalom whom we anointed to rule us has been killed. We should tell David to return and come to be our king!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But Absalom, whom we anointed as our king has died in battle, so why shouldn’t we try to bring back the king?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, Absalom whom we (incl.) chose to rule-over us (incl.) died in battle. Why do- we (incl.) not -look for a way that we (incl.) can-bring-back David as king?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “We appointed Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle against David’s soldiers. So why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
