Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 16:2:

• Kupsabiny: “Then/at that time, the people of Gaza were told, ‘Samson has come here.’ Then the people lay in wait. Some stayed at the gate of the city. Those people lay quietly in wait until morning whispering to one another, ‘We keep guard and when it dawns, we shall kill this man.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Knowing that Samson had come, the men of Gaza surrounded that place. All night they waited for him at the city gate. Thinking "We will kill him in the morning," they did nothing all night.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Those (who) come-from-Gaza heard-the-news that Samson was there, so they surrounded the town and watched-at the gate of the town for the whole night. They did- not -attack that night. They decided that they would-kill Samson at dawn.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “People soon found out that Samson was there, so the men of Gaza gathered together at the city gate and waited all night. They said to themselves, ‘When it dawns tomorrow morning, we will kill him when he tries to leave the city.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
