complete verse (Numbers 11:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 11:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “but you shall eat that meat for a whole month until it is too much to you. These things will happen because you have refused your God whom you are together with, and you are crying/complaining, ‘We should never have left Egypt.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “You will eat it, carried along for a [whole] month, until it comes out of your nose and you vomit, for you have rejected the LORD, who is in your midst, and have continued to weep in His presence saying [lit.: before Him] It would be good to not have left Egypt." ‘ "” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “but-rather one month, until you (plur.) become-disgusted (of it) and you (plur.) no-longer would-eat it. For you (plur.) have-rejected me who goes-together-with you (plur.), and you (plur.) have-complained to me that you (plur.) would have- not -leave Egipto.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You will eat meat every day for one month, and then you will loathe/despise it, and it will cause you to want to vomit. This will happen because you have rejected Yahweh who is here among you, and you have wailed in his presence, saying ‘e would have had better food to eat if we had not left Egypt.’’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
