Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 19:22:
- Kupsabiny: “David said that, ‘What thing do we have with you the sons of Zeruiah. Why do you keep on arguing with me? Why should we now kill a person in Israel? After all, I am king again.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “David replied, "O sons of Zeruiah, what do I have to do with you? [lit.: what relationship do I have with you?] Today you have become my opponent. Now I have become king of Israel so today none of the Israelites will die.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But David said, ‘You (plur.) children of Zeruya, what is your (plur.) concern? You (plur.) do- not -go-against with my decision now. I am now the king of Israel, and no man will-be-killed in Israel today.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But David said, ‘You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide what to do to him). It is as though you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, so I say that certainly no one in Israel should be executed today.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
