complete verse (Numbers 16:46)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 16:46:

  • Kupsabiny: “After that, Moses said to Aaron, ‘Scoop some embers into your pan from the altar and place there the things that smell sweet to burn. Then bring it quickly to where people are and make ceremonies by which those people are forgiven. Do like that because God is very angry and he has already began a plague.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Moses said to Aaron, "Take your incense burner [lit.: firepot to offer incense], then put fire from the altar in it, and incense, and take it quickly to the place of the community and make atonement for them, for the anger of the LORD is burning [and] the plague has begun."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then Moises said to Aaron, ‘Take/Get your (sing.) container of incense and put burning-coals on it from the altar. Then put incense on it and you (sing.) hurriedly go to the community and do/perform the ceremony so-that they will-be-redeemed from their sins, for the LORD is now angry and the afflictions/evil/disasters have-started already.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Moses/I said to Aaron, ‘Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and I know that a severe plague/bad sickness has already started among them.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
