Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 7:8:
- Kupsabiny: “When the people with leprosy arrived there, they entered into a tent. They ate until they were satisfied. After that, they took silver, gold and clothes and went to hide them. After that, they returned and entered another tent and carried the things that were inside and again went to hide those things.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “As soon as the mem who had Infectious Skin Diseases arrived, they went into one tent. They ate and drank and took the silver and the gold and the clothing that were there to another place and hid them. From there they went to another tent and did the same thing.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “When the men who had-a-disease on the skin arrived in the camp, they went inside the tents one-by-one. They kept-on eating and drinking, and taking silver(s), gold(s), and clothes. And they hid them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “When those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, and saw all the things that had been left there. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went outside the tent and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
