complete verse (Numbers 5:8)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 5:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then that person must repent and bring a ram which can be used for a ceremony for him to be made clean through it. He must also pay/compensate for all the things of (the) people and add on top twenty in a hundred. If the person has died so that the things cannot be paid back and he does not have another of his family, the things/compensation to be paid is to be given to God so it can belong to the priest.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If that person has died and there are also no close relatives to take the penalty from him/her, that penalty will go to the LORD. And it must be given to the priest. A lamb must also be brought for atonement.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But if that one-whom- a bad-thing -had-done is dead already and she/he has no close relatives to receive this payment, the payment now belongs to the LORD and it must be-given to the priest, along with the sheep which will-be-offered by the priest for redeeming the sin of that person.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If the person against whom the wrong was done has died and there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest to sacrifice in order that that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
