complete verse (Judges 6:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 6:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “Gideon said to that angel, ‘If God was/is really with us, why has all this trouble come to us? Our forefathers reminded us that amazing things happened when God brought us out form Egypt. But then, why has God turned his back on us to let the Midianites make us suffer like this?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then Gideon said to him — "O your honor, if the LORD is with us, why has all this adversity come to us? Our fathers spoke to us like this, ‘What, didn’t the LORD bring us out of Egypt?’ Where are his amazing works? But now the LORD has abandoned us. And given us into the hand of the Midianites.’ "” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Gideon replied, ‘Sir, if the LORD is-with/accompanies us (excl.), why is- this -particularly our (excl.) situation? Why (is it) that he is- not -performing/doing miracles like what he did before when he caused- our (excl.) ancestors -to-come-out of Egipto, just-as what they told us (excl.)? But now the LORD has- already -abandoned us (excl.) and handed- (us) -over to the Midianhon.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Gideon replied, ‘Sir, if Yahweh is helping us, why have all these bad things happened to us? We heard about all the miracles that Yahweh performed for our ancestors. We heard people tell us about how he rescued them from being slaves in Egypt. But now Yahweh has abandoned us, and we are ruled by the people from Midian.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
