complete verse (2 Samuel 23:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 23:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “Eleasar was courageous and stabbed/speared the Philistines until his hand grew weary from clutching his spear. God won on that day in a miraculous way. When the battle was over, the Israelites went back to where Eleasar was to strip the dead Philistines of their weapons and other things.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Until he felt tired [he] was attacking the Philistines with a sword. In the end he was not even able to release the sword from his hand. In this way the LORD caused Israel to defeat the Philistines on that day. After that the men of Israel came back to where Eleazar was only to plunder the corpses.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “but he on-the-other-hand stayed-behind and he killed the Filistinhon until his hand grew-tired and could- no-longer -draw/[lit. lift-up] a sword. The LORD had-caused- them -to-win that day. The Israelinhon who had-fled returned there to Eleazar only to take-away the weapons of those who-died.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that his hand cramped and he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the other Israeli soldiers returned to where Eleazar was, and stripped off the armor from the men whom he had killed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
