Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 3:39:

• Kupsabiny: “I may well be a king chosen by God, but the heads of the sons of Zeruiah are very dry (stubborn/insensitive) that it is hard for me to reign them in. So, may God judge/decide (for) the sinners words/matters/judgment that they deserve.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Even though I am the one who has been anointed king, before these two merciless sons of Zeruiah I am weak and powerless. They are too strong for me. May The LORD give them suitable disgrace for their evil deed."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “And even-though I was-chosen as king today, I do- not -have ability to stop Joab and Abishai, who (are) the children of Zeruya. I find-it-hard to stop them. So only the LORD will-repay to these wicked men of the wickedness that they are-doing.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Even though Yahweh appointed me to be the king, today I feel weak. These two sons of Zeruiah, Joab and Abishai, are very violent; I cannot control them. So I hope/desire that Yahweh will punish them severely in return for this wicked thing that they have done!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
