Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 19:42:
- Kupsabiny: “The people of Judah replied those people of Israel that, ‘Oh, we did like that because, the king is our relative. But even then, why do these words/matters pain you? Is there anything that we have eaten from the king? Or there is something the king has blessed us with?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then all men of Judah responded, "Because the king is our own flesh, why are you angry? What! Have we eaten the king’s wealth? What! Have we taken any gift for ourselves?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The people of Juda answered the people of Israel, ‘We (excl.) have-done this because the king is our (excl.) blood-relative. So why are you (plur.) very angry? Have- we (excl.) -received food or whatever gift from him? None whatsoever!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The soldiers from Judah replied, ‘We did it because the king is from Judah. So why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that. The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
