complete verse (Leviticus 20:25)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 20:25:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, you must know/realize that there is a difference between animals and birds that are clean and those that are not clean. Do not defile yourselves by eating any animal or bird or anything else which is in the land which I have told you is not clean.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “’So distinguish carefully between [lit.: carefully recognize] clean and unclean birds and beasts. It is not OK to make yourselves unclean with beasts that creep on the ground, and with birds and beasts that I have called unclean. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) must know/(make-a-distinction-between) what (are) the clean and the dirty/unclean animals including birds. You (plur.) are- not -make- yourselves/[lit. your (plur.) own self] -dirty/unclean by-means-of eating dirty/unclean animals which I have-forbidden you (plur.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘o you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by eating birds or animals, or anything that scurries across the ground, that I have said are unacceptable for you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
