complete verse (Judges 2:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 2:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “Those people refused the God of their forefathers who had led them from the country of Egypt. They sinned in relation to God, worshipping gods who were idols/images who were formed to be like Baal whom their neighbors worshipped. God became very angry at that time.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “After that the Israelites did evil work in the eyes of the LORD. They worshiped the god Baal.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The Israelinhon did evil in the sight of the LORD and worshipped the images of Baal.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They worshiped idols that represented the god Baal and the goddess Astarte. They worshiped the various gods that the people-groups around them worshiped. They stopped worshiping Yahweh, the God their ancestors worshiped, the one who had brought their ancestors out of Egypt. That caused Yahweh to be very angry.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
