Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 1:20:
- Kupsabiny: “She became heavy/pregnant and gave birth to a boy. They named that child Samuel because God heard her prayer.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “In this way Hannah became pregnant and she gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel and said, "Because I asked the LORD for him."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “So she got-pregnant, and later bore a son/[lit. childed a male]. She named him Samuel, for she said, ‘I asked- the LORD -for him.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, which sounds like the words in the Hebrew language that mean ‘heard by God’, because she said ‘Yahweh heard me when I requested from him a son.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
