Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 23:6:
- Kupsabiny: “But, wicked people/sinners/godless men are like thorn bushes that are thrown away/disposed,
which are not held in hand.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “But evil men are all to be thrown away like thorn plants,
no one will be able to gather those thorn plants with bare hands.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But the wicked people are like thorny bushes that are being-thrown-away.
They could- not -be-taken-away by just bare-hands but-rather had to use as-well tools [linker]/of iron and wood,
and they will-be-burned in the place where they are-piled-up-at.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “But he will get rid of godless/evil people like people throw away thorns
that injure people if they try to pick them up with their hands.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
