complete verse (1 Samuel 14:34)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 14:34:

  • Kupsabiny: “and tell everyone to bring his ox or his sheep which he looted to slaughter and eat from here. It’s not right for one to eat meat which still has blood because a person who does like that has sinned against God.’ That night, all the people brought their oxen and slaughtered from there.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then Saul said, "Go out among the people and say, ‘You bring all your sheep, cows and oxen here to me. Then slaughter them and eat. When you eat meat, do not sin against the LORD like this by eating [it] with the blood.’ " So, having become evening, each man brought his own ox and slaughtered it there.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then [you (plur.)] go to the people and tell each one of them to-bring his cow and sheep, and they are-to-slaughter (them) here and eat (them). Tell them also not to-sin-against the LORD by eating meat that still has blood.’ So that night each one brought his cow to Saul and slaughtered (it) there.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “After they did that, he said to those men, ‘Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, and drain the blood before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat from some animal without draining its blood.’ So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to worship Yahweh.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
