complete verse (2 Kings 22:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 22:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “Go and ask from God about the things of this book. Do like that for my sake and for all the people of Judah. Ask the words about the book that has been found because the anger of God which is directed to us is great. God is very angry with us because our forefathers did not obey the words that are written in this book.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Go and inquire of the LORD for myself, for the people, and for all of Judah concerning what has been written in this book that has been found. For I have preceived that the LORD is very angry with us, for our ancestors have not obeyed the words of this book. They have not lived in accordance with what has been written in it.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘[You (plur.)] ask the LORD for me and for the people of Juda about this (that) was-written in the book that has-been-found. Very much [double emphasis marker] is the anger of the LORD upon us (incl.) because our (plur.) ancestors did- not -obey what was-written in this book, which we (incl.) are-to-obey also.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because it is clear that Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we should have done.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
