complete verse (1 Samuel 17:36)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 17:36:

  • Kupsabiny: “I have been killing dangerous lions and fierce animals for a long time. So, I will do to this Philistine who has not been circumcised that thing I did to those dangerous wild animals, because he has undermined/despised the soldiers of the living God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear. Doing like that I will also kill this uncircumcised godless Philistine. He has insulted the soldiers of the Living God.
    "If it is like that, you go, and may the LORD be with you."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I did this to the/a lion and bear, and I will- also -do (it) to that Philistine who does-not know God, because he defies/provokes/challenges the soldiers of the living God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I have killed both lions and bears. And I will do the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
