Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 20:18:

  • Newari: “Because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife, God made Abimelech’s wife and her maid servants unable to bear children.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Because of Abimelec’s taking-away of Sarah, the LORD willed that all the women in his household could- not -give-birth. Therefore Abraham prayed to God, and God healed the wife of Abimelec and his female slaves so-that they could-give-birth again. God also healed Abimelec from his sickness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
