Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 20:31:
- Kupsabiny: “And when the people of Benjamin came out to fight the others, the Israelites pretended to flee. They lured the others to go far from the city. They killed the people of Israel as always until it reached thirty who died in the open area, on the road to Gibeon and (the one) to Bethel.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The Benjaminites, however, came out to attack that army. They went far from the city. And they attacked Israelites as before and in an open field in Bethel and on the way going to Gibeah they killed 30 Israelites.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Once-again they were met by the Benjaminhon who were coming-out from the city. And like what happened in the previous days, they have killed some Israelinhon. 30 Israelinhon were killed in the farms and in the roads going to Betel and to Gibea.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “When the men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of the city to fight against them, the Israeli men retreated away from the city, and the men of the tribe of Benjamin pursued them. The men of the tribe of Benjamin killed many Israelis, like they had done before. They killed about 30 Israelis. They killed some in the fields, and they killed some on the road that went to Bethel and on the road that went to Gibeah.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
