complete verse (Joshua 24:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 24:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “But if you do not want to work for God, say today who you want to serve. If you want, you may worship those gods/idols that your forefathers worshipped on the other side of Euphrates or those that people prayed to in this land of the Amorites where you live. But I and all the people of my home, we will do for God alone what he wants.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If you do not like to serve the LORD, you are to choose today whom you will serve. The gods that your ancestors worshiped on the other side of the Euphrates river, or the gods of the Amorites of the land where you are now living? As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But if you (plur.) do- not -want to-serve the LORD, [you (plur.)] choose today whom you (plur.) will-serve. Will- you (plur.) -serve the gods which your ancestors/[lit. old-ones] served across the River of Eufrates, or the gods of the Amornon whose land you (plur.) are-living-in now? But I and my family on-the-other-hand will-serve the LORD.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what gods you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, serve/worship. But as for me and my family , we will serve/worship Yahweh!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
