complete verse (2 Samuel 4:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 4:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, if I was able to do to that person like that, how about you sinners who killed without a word/cause a person who was simply sleeping in his house. Do you think I cannot manage to destroy you completely to pay for/revenge his life?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But if an innocent man is killed who has no guilt is killed on his own bed in his own house, how much more reward must be given! Should I not now revenge for you killing him and remove you from the world?’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, you (plur.) wicked-ones I will-punish more than this, for you (plur.) killed a man [linker]without sin, who was- still -sleeping on his bed in his house. I will-ask-payment (from) you (plur.) for killing him so-that you (plur.) will-vanish/disappear/be-lost (from) the earth.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So because you two evil men murdered a man who is innocent/has done nothing wrong when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely get revenge on you two for murdering him, and wipe you/cause you to disappear from the earth!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
