Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 11:13:
- Kupsabiny: “In the evening, David called him to go and both eat (together). He ate and drank until he was drunk. Even if it was like that, Uriah did not accept to return to his home. He went and slept again where the king’s guards were.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “David invited him to eat and drink, and he gave him much to drink, but in the evening he went out and passed the night sleeping his own mat with the king’s guards. He did not go home that day either.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “David invited him to eat and drink with him, and David made- him -drunk. But that night he still did- not -go-home instead he slept there again together-with the servants of David.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The next day, David invited him to a meal. So Uriah had a meal with David, and David made him drink a lot of wine so that he would get drunk, hoping that if he was drunk, he would sleep with his wife. But that night, Uriah again did not go home. Instead, he slept on his cot with the king’s servants.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
