Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 20:26:

• Kupsabiny: “Saul did not say anything on that day, because he thought that, ‘Maybe something has happened which has made David to become unclean as stated by our laws which has prevented him from attending this celebration.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “But that day Saul did not say anything. He thought, "Surely, being ritually unclean he has not come, surely he must have become unclean."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Saul said nothing about/concerning David that day for he thought that maybe David had-done (something) to make- himself -unclean/[lit. to-make- himself -dirty], so he (is) not worthy to-participate in the feast.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “On that day, Saul did not say anything about David, because he was thinking, ‘Something must have happened that caused David to become unacceptable to worship God.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
