complete verse (Judges 20:45)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 20:45:

  • Kupsabiny: “The remainder of the soldiers of Benjamin fled to the wilderness heading to the (flat?) rock of Rimmon. But the soldiers of Israel killed five thousand from Benjamin on the road. They continued to pursue them seriously and killed two thousand more soldiers at a place near Gidom.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “As for the ones who were spared, [they] came back and escaped toward the rock of Rimmon which was in the desert. Of those that they met on the road, they killed 5,000 who died. They pursued the Benjaminites up to Gidom and killed another 2,000.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The rest fled towards the desert/desolate-place in the Rock of Rimon. But 5,000 of the them were killed in the road. They were continued to be-pursued by the Israelinhon until Gidom and the Israelinhon were able to kill 2,000 still.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then the rest of the men of the tribe of Benjamin realized that they had been defeated. They ran toward the desert to Rimmon Rock, but the Israeli men killed 5,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin along the roads. They pursued the rest of them to Gidom, and they killed 2,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin there.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
