Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 21:24:
- Kupsabiny: “But king David answered Araunah, ‘Not at all! I shall buy from you these things for a fitting amount of money. I shall not bring/offer to God a thing belonging to another person. And again, I shall not make a sacrifice to God of something that is free (without cost).’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “But the king answered him, "No, I will give you the full price. [I] will not make sacrifices or burnt offerings to the LORD with things that I have received from you that cost me nothing."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But King David replied to Arauna, ‘I will- not -accept this as free. I will-pay you (sing.) how-much it cost. I cannot just take- it -away from you (sing.) and offer to the LORD. I will- not -offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But the king said to Araunah, ‘No, I will not take these things as a gift. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
