complete verse (1 Samuel 25:29)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 25:29:

  • Kupsabiny: “Even if someone tries to spear/kill you, he will not manage because God will take care of you the way someone protects an important thing. God will capture your enemies and throw them away like a stone being thrown by a man.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If someone, by attacking you, would try to take your life, the LORD your God would protect your life like a person protects very precious property. But your enemy, however, he would throw away like a stone put in a sling.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Even-though someone pursues you (sing.) to-kill you (sing.), the LORD your (sing.) God will-take-care-of/keep you (sing.) like a man who takes-care-of/keeps an expensive thing. But your (sing.) enemies will-be-hurled/slung just-like a man/person hurls/slings a stone.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Even when those who are trying to kill you pursue you, you are safe, because Yahweh your God takes care of you. You will be protected as though you were a bundle that he has safely tied up. But your enemies will disappear as fast as stones that are hurled from a sling.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
