complete verse (Deuteronomy 2:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 2:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “And when you reach the ridges/highlands of the Ammonites, do not disturb those people, or fight with them because I am not giving you any area of that land of the Ammonites to be yours. I have given that land to the grandchildren of Lot.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When you arrive at the border of the Ammonites, do not give them any trouble. Do not incite them to fight, for I will not give any portion of the land of the Ammonites for your possession. I have given that land as a possession to the descendants of Lot."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When you (plur.) (plur.) reach the Ammonhon, who were the descendants of Lot, [you (plur.)] do- not -harass or attack them for I gave to them their land, and I will- not -give you (plur.) even little (portion) of their land.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
