complete verse (1 Samuel 25:31)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 25:31:

  • Kupsabiny: “you will not have disturbing thoughts. It is like that because you have not killed an innocent person, and have not avenged that sin/evil which was done to you. And if God makes you become rich/powerful, don’t forget me.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “you would not need to say that you are guilty of bloodshed, having done like this in vain, or [lit. and] to be sorry for having taken revenge like this. When the LORD has caused my master to succeed, please also remember me, your maid servant.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “you (sing.) will- not -be-conscience-stricken because you (sing.) have- not -avenged/[lit. have- not -paid-back] and killed without a reason. And when the LORD blesses you (sing.) please do- not -forget me.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When that happens, you will be glad that you did not kill any people in Nabal’s household. You will not think that you deserve to be punished for having taken revenge yourself and killed innocent people. And when Yahweh enables you to successfully become the king, please do not forget to be kind to me.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
