complete verse (Leviticus 27:8)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 27:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “If a person is very weak/poor so that he is unable to pay the required amount, the person who wants to redeem (him/her) must bring (him/her) in front of the priest. The priest shall examine (him/her) and then decide the amount the person who wants to return the other (person) may give.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “’If any person is not able to pay the value that was decided upon, the person being dedicated must be brought to the priest. And the priest must determine the price the person who made the vow to offer is able to pay.
    ‘” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If the-one-who-is-making-the-vow is poor and he can- not -afford to-pay that price, he is-to-take to the priest the person who he vowed to-be-offered to the LORD, and the priest is-the-one (who) will-give the price according-to what the person can- afford to-pay.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘If anyone who has made such a solemn promise is very poor and unable to pay, to free that person from doing what he had promised, he must take that person to the priest. The priest will set the price for freeing him to be what the person who made that solemn promise is able to pay.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
