complete verse (Judges 19:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 19:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “In those days there was no king in Israel. There was a man of the house/family of Levi who lived in the highlands of Ephraim where no person lived nearby. That man had chosen/picked a co-wife from the town of Bethlehem in the country of Judah and come with her.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “At that time there was no one in Israel that we would call a king.
    One day, A Levite who lived in a place that was very difficult to go to in the hill country of Ephraim, brought a concubine from Bethlehem of Judah.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “At that time that Israel has no king yet, there was a Levite who lived in a far part of the mountains of Efraim. This Levite was able-to-marry a servant who comes-from-Betlehem in Juda.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “At that time the Israeli people had no king.
    There was a man from the tribe of Levi who lived in a remote place in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim lives. He had previously taken as a wife a woman who was a slave. She was from Bethlehem, in the area where the tribe of Judah lives.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
