complete verse (Judges 5:28)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 5:28:

  • Kupsabiny: “The mother of Sisera is at the window,
    wanting to see her son returning home.
    That woman says,
    ‘Why is his chariot so much delayed today?
    Why do we not hear the footsteps of the horses?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Sisera’s mother was watching from the window,
    ‘Why are Sisera’s chariots [so] slow in coming?’
    She asked through the latticed window,
    ‘Why are his horses coming so late?’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The mother of Sisera was-looking-out the window and was not at-ease. She was-asking why her child/(son) was so-long to-arrive.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘Sisera’s mother looked out from her window.
    She waited for him to return.
    She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot?
    Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
