Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 19:18:

  • Newari: “They destroyed the gods of the nations by throwing them into the fire, for they were not gods but only wood and stone made by human hands.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “including their little-gods/false-gods by throwing them into the fire. For these are not true gods but-rather just stones and wood made by man.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “And they have thrown the idols of those nations into fires and burned them. But that was not difficult to do, because they were not gods. They were only statues made of wood and stone, idols that were shaped by humans, and that is why they were destroyed easily.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
