Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 2:26:

  • Kupsabiny: “(Then) Abner called Joab that, ‘Oh, man, do you want us to continue eating the intestines of one another up to when? Don’t you know that we shall end these words/matters in pain? When will you tell your soldiers to not continue to chase their people?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Crying out loudly, Abner said to Joab, ‘What! Will [you] continue cutting and killing? Don’t you know that the final result will be very bad? Will you not bring your people back, telling [them] to stop pursuing their kinsmen?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Abner shouted to Joab, ‘Should we (incl.) still continue killing-each-other? Do- you not -realize that the result of this is hating-each-other? When will- you -cause-to-stop your men to chase us (excl.) your (plur.) blood-relatives?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Abner called out to Joab, saying ‘Are we going to continue to fight forever ? Do you not realize that if we continue fighting, the result will be very bad ? We are all descendants of Jacob. So we should stop fighting each other How long will it be until you tell your soldiers to stop pursuing us?/Tell your soldiers to stop pursuing us.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
