complete verse (Isaiah 37:38)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 37:38:

  • Kupsabiny: “And/But one day when he was praying in the house of his idol/god which was called Nisrok, his two sons came and stabbed him with a sword so he died. Those sons were Adrammelech and Sharezer. And then, those sons fled to the ridge of Ararat. And then, another son who was called Esarhaddon ruled, replacing him.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “One day while he was worshipping his god in the temple of Nisroch his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with a sword, then they escaped to the land of Ararat. After him his son Esarhaddon became king and reigned in his place.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “One day, while Sennacherib is-worshipping in the temple of his god Nisroc, he was-killed with the sword by his two male children who were Adramelec and Sharezer, and then they fled to Ararat. His other child Esarhadon was-the-one who succeeded him as king.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “One day, when he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his two sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, killed him with their swords. Then they escaped and went to the Ararat region northwest of Nineveh. And another of Sennacherib’s sons, Esarhaddon, became the King of Assyria.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
