Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 7:6:
- Kupsabiny: “God had stupefied those people of Syria so that they heard the sound of chariots and of horses as if many soldiers were coming. Those people said to one another, ‘The king of Israel has sold/betrayed us to the king of the country of Hittites and the king of the country of Egypt to come and fight against us.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “This happened because the Arameans had heard a sound like the advancing of a great army bringing horses and chariots. God had made it like that. They said to one another, "Look, The Israelite King has paid money to the Hittites and kings of Egypt to attack us."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “For the LORD had-caused- the soldier of Aram -to-hear the noisy-sound of the chariots, horses, and many soldiers, so the Arameanhon thought that the king of Israel had-hired the king of Hithanon and the kings of Egiptohanon to attack them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, ‘Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group and their armies, and they have come to attack us!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
