RCTA
20. யோசுவாவைத் தூரத்திச் சென்ற நகர மனிதர் திரும்பிப் பார்த்தபோது, அதோ! நகரிலிருந்து புகை வான்மட்டும் எழும்பக் கண்டு, பாசாங்கு காட்டிப் பாலைவனத்தை நோக்கி ஒடின இஸ்ராயேலர்கள் இப்போது திரும்பி வந்து மிகுந்த துணிவுடன் போருக்கு நிற்கக் கண்டு ஏங்கினர்.

TOV
20. ஆயியின் மனுஷர் பின்னிட்டுப் பார்த்தபோது, இதோ, பட்டணத்தின் புகை ஆகாசத்தில் எழும்புகிறதைக் கண்டார்கள்; அப்பொழுது அங்கும் இங்கும் ஓடிப்போகிறதற்கு அவர்களுக்கு இடம் இல்லாமற்போயிற்று; வனாந்தரத்துக்கு ஓடின ஜனங்கள் தங்களைத் தொடர்ந்தவர்கள் முகமாய்த் திரும்பினார்கள்.

ERVTA
20. ஆயீ நகர ஜனங்கள் திரும்பிப் பார்த்து, தங்கள் நகரம் எரிவதையும், வானத்திற்கு நேராகப் புகை எழும்புவதையும் கண்டனர். எனவே அவர்கள் தங்கள் வலிமையையும் துணிவையும் இழந்து, இஸ்ரவேலரைத் துரத்துவதைக் கைவிட்டனர். இஸ்ரவேலர் ஓடுவதை நிறுத்திவிட்டு திரும்பி ஆயீ நகர மக்களோடு போரிட்டனர். ஆயீ நகர ஜனங்கள் ஓடி ஒளிவதற்கு எந்த இடமும் அகப்படவில்லை.

IRVTA
20. ஆயீயின் மனிதர்கள் பின்நோக்கிப் பார்த்தபோது, இதோ, பட்டணத்தின் புகை ஆகாயத்தில் எழும்புகிறதைக் கண்டார்கள்; அப்பொழுது அங்கும் இங்கும் ஓடிப்போகிறதற்கு அவர்களுக்கு இடம் இல்லாமல்போனது; வனாந்திரத்திற்கு ஓடின மக்கள் தங்களைப் பின்தொடர்ந்தவர்களை நோக்கித் திரும்பினார்கள்.

ECTA
20. ஆயியின் மக்கள் திரும்பிப் பார்த்தனர். இதோ நகரினின்று எழும்பிய புகை விண்ணை நோக்கிப் போவதைக் கண்டனர். எப்பக்கமும் தப்பியோட அவர்களுக்கு வாய்ப்பு இல்லை. பாலைநிலம் நோக்கி ஓடிய இஸ்ரயேல் மக்கள் தங்களைத் துரத்தியவர்மீது திரும்பிப் பாய்ந்தனர்.

OCVTA
20. ஆயியின் மனிதர் திரும்பிப் பார்த்தபொழுது, பட்டணம் எரிந்து புகை ஆகாயத்தை நோக்கி எழும்புவதைக் கண்டார்கள். அவர்களுக்கு எத்திசையிலும் ஓடித்தப்ப வாய்ப்புக் கிடைக்கவில்லை. ஏனெனில் பாலைவனத்தை நோக்கி ஓடிக்கொண்டிருந்த இஸ்ரயேலர் தங்களைத் துரத்தியவர்களுக்கு எதிராகத் திரும்பி தாக்கத் தொடங்கினார்கள்.
