complete verse (Judges 9:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 9:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “After that, Abimelech went with these people to Ophrah where his father had lived. He went and killed the seventy brothers of the other house (different mother from him) using one/the same rock. But one small boy who was called Jotham remained, because he had hid himself.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then he went to his father’s home in Ophrah and there, bringing a large round rock, he killed the 70 sons of Jerub-baal. Gideon’s youngest son, Jotham, however, was spared because he was hiding.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then Abimelec went to the house of his father in Ofra. And there, on the top of one stone, he killed his 70 siblings/(brothers) of (his) father Gideon. But the youngest Jotam was- not -killed because he was-able-to-hide.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They went to Ophrah, his father’s town, and murdered 69 of his 70 brothers, the sons of his father Gideon. They killed all those men on one huge rock. But Gideon’s youngest son Jotham hid from Abimelech and his men, and he escaped.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
