Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 5:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “‘Tell the Israelites these words. The wife of a person may disobey/rebel against her husband by another man having slept with her. Her husband may not know that the wife has brought shame upon themselves because there is no one who has caught the wife in the act.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “and even though she became unchaste by sleeping with another man, her husband does not know this, nor were there any witnesses of this,” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “She laid/slept/(implied- had -sexual intercourse) with her another-man which her husband did- not -know. No-one at-all knew her dirty act, for no-one saw her in the act.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
