complete verse (2 Chronicles 32:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 32:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not led Hezekiah deceive you and do not let (him) lead you astray with these words. Do not believe his words, because the gods/idols of any community or any king are not able to save its/his people from my forefathers or from me. When that is the case, what might your God possible do for you!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Now, do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you in this way. Don’t believe him– for if none of the gods have yet been able to deliver their people from my hand or those of my ancestors, how will your God be able to deliver you from my hand?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] do- not -be-mislead or be-deceive by Hezekia. [You (plur.)] do- not -believe him, for there is no god in any nation or kingdom that was-able-to-save his people from my hand or from the hand of my ancestors. And most especially your god!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you like this. Do not believe what he says, because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to rescue his people from being conquered by my army and the armies of my ancestors. So certainly your god will not be able to rescue you from my power’ .’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
