Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 23:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “Balaam said to Balak, ‘Stand where you have made your sacrifice that is burned completely. Let me go and see if maybe God has come to meet with me. I shall come and tell you what he will show/reveal to me.’ Then he went alone to the top of the hill.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then Balaam said to Balak, "You stand before your burnt offering. I go a bit over there. It may be that the LORD will meet me there. I will tell you what He shows me." So he went up the barren hill alone.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then Balaam said to Balak, ‘You (sing.) just (stay) here beside your (sing.) burnt offering. I will-go (for) awhile, for the LORD might appear (himself) to me. I will- just -tell you (sing.) whatever he will-say to me.’ So he went-up to a clean/clear mountain.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Balaam said to Balak, ‘You stand here close to your burned offerings, and I will go and ask Yahweh if he has something else to tell me. Then I will tell you what he says to me.’
    Then Balaam went by himself to the top of a hill,” (Source: Translation for Translators)
