complete verse (1 Kings 11:33)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 11:33:

  • Kupsabiny: “I shall do so because Solomon has left me and has continuously worshipped mere idols. He worships Ashtoreth which the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh which the people of Moab worship and Molech which the Ammonites worship. Solomon disrespected me, wronged/sinned against me and did not obey my laws and my will the same way his father David used to do.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “I will do like this, because they have abandoned me and have done puja to Asharoth, the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, the god of the Moabites, and Molech, the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked on my way, they have not done work that was pleasing to me, they have not obeyed my commands and decrees like David, Solomon’s father did.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I will-do this because he had-rejected me and worshipped Ashtoret, the goddess of the Sidonhon, Kemosh, the god of the Moabnon, and Molec, the god of the Ammonhon. He did- not -follow my ways and he did- not -live rightly in my sight. He did- not -obey my regulations and commands; not like his father David.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
