Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 24:12:
- Kupsabiny: “After that, I made the two kings of the Amorites panic so they ran away. It was not your swords or your bows which made you victorious.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “And I sent terror ahead of you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. It did not happen with your swords and arrows.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I sent- swarm of poisonous bees -upon the two Amornon kings to-drive- them -out before you (plur.) arrive. You (plur.) won not because of your (plur.) swords and bows-and-arrows.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I am the one who caused them to panic as you advanced and enabled you to defeat them, as I had enabled you to do earlier to the two kings of the groups who were descendants of Amor. You did not defeat them by using your own bows and arrows and swords; it was I who defeated them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
