Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 23:5:
- Kupsabiny: “Truly, my home/family stands (firm) in God’s presence,
because he has made an agreement/covenant with me which continues.
That agreement/covenant is prepared and guarded in all forms/ways.
God will rescue/save me completely,
and will give me everything I need.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Is not right with God my house?
Has he not made everlasting covenant with me, secured and strong in every matter?
Will he not rescue whenever I need help ?
and will he not fulfill my every desire?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “My family is like that in the sight of God,
for he made a covenant with me which has no end.
This covenant is arranged/set well/good and can- not -be-changed anymore.
Therefore I am sure that God will- always -save me
and he will-give to me all what I desire (for).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family
because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever,
an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed.
He will surely cause me to prosper ,
and he will always help me,
and that is all that I desire.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
