Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 21:29:
- Kupsabiny: “‘Have you not seen how king Ahab has repented before me? Because he has done like that, I shall not do anything to his home/family when he is still alive, but I shall destroy that home when his son is ruling.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “What! Have you seen that Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not punish his family as long as he lives. I will punish the family of Ahab in the time of his son.’ ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Have- you -seen how Ahab has-humbled himself before me? Because he has-humbled (himself), I will- not -send the destruction in his time, but- rather I will-send it to the household of his child when he reigns.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘I have seen that Ahab is now very sorry for all the evil things that he has done. So the things that I promised to do to his family will not happen while he is still alive. I will cause them to happen after his son becomes king. Then those things will happen to his family.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
