complete verse (Judges 19:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 19:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “But the man refused to sleep there in that night. Then that man took the two donkeys he had travelled with and his co-wife and headed towards the city of Jerusalem which was called Jebus.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But that man did not agree to stay there that night. So he went toward Jubus City (i.e., this is Jerusalem city) with the two donkeys carrying luggage and [his] concubine.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But the Levite never agreed anymore, but-rather he and his wife set-out, with the two donkeys. (It was) already very late-afternoon when they arrived near Jebus (which is Jerusalem). Therefore the servant of the Levite said, ‘(It is) better maybe if we just sleep here in this city of the Jebusnon.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But the man from the tribe of Levi did not want to stay for another night. He put saddles on his two donkeys, and started to go with his slave wife and his servant toward Jebus city, which is now named Jerusalem.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
