Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 14:8:
- Kupsabiny: “After a few days had passed, Samson and company/group/parents went back to Timnah in order for him to marry this girl. But when Samson was on the road walking, he saw that lion he had killed. When he looked closer, bees had already settled inside the body of that animal and had produced honey.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Sometime later Samson went down to marry that woman. While he was going, he left the path to look at the lion he had killed. He was surprised to see a swarm of honeybees had gathered in the dead body and that there was a little honey.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “After several days, he returned to Timnah in-order to marry the woman. He passed-through there on the road where he killed the lion in-order to see its body. And he saw the many bees and honey in the body of the lion.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Later, when Samson returned to Timnah for the wedding, he turned off the path to see the carcass of the lion. He discovered that after other creatures had eaten all the flesh, a swarm of bees had made a hive in the skeleton and had made some honey.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
