Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 5:31:
- Kupsabiny: “So, our God,
all your enemies ought to end/die like Sisera, please!
But may the lives of those who love you shine,
like the sun which shines on everything, please!
So, the land had peace for forty years.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “‘O LORD!
May all your enemies be destroyed in this way.
If they honor God,
May they shine like the sun."
Once more there was peace in the land for 40 years.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘Therefore O LORD, may-it-be that all your (plur.) enemies will-perish/be-destroyed.
But may the ones- (who) -love you (sing.) become like a sun that shines very brightly.’
And there-was peace in Israel within a period/[lit. inside] of 40 years.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “But that is not what happened! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did!
And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
