Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 19:35:

• Kupsabiny: “You see, I am old that I no longer know/experience what makes people happy and what makes people unhappy. I no longer see the sweetness of food that people eat and I no longer see how things which they drink are. The singing/dancing of men and women is no longer sweet to me. So, please, my king, why should I trouble you, oh big one.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “I am already eighty years old. I am no longer able to distinguish good from bad [lit.: I am no longer able to recognize the knowledge of good and bad.] I no longer taste what I eat and drink. [lit.: Even to eat and to drink I no longer feel any taste.] I no longer even hear the singing of men and women. So why should I go with you and only be a burden for you?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “I am now 80 years old, and I can- no -longer -tell/know what is good and what is not good/[regard to senses of sight or taste – not in a moral sense]. I can- no -longer-taste what I eat and drink. I can- no -longer-hear the singers. You will- only -be-burdened by me, Beloved King.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “I am now 80 years old. I do not know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
