Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 21:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “The priests must come to that place because your God chose them to work for him and be blessing people in his name. They are the ones to judge in any matter where there is a quarrel or when a person has been killed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then the Levitical priests must come to the front — the ones He has chosen to do the service of the LORD God and to give blessings in His name and to render decisions on lawsuits.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The priests who were the descendants of Levi should also go there, for the LORD your (plur.) God has-chosen them to serve and give blessing in the name of the LORD, and settle all cases.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes in which someone has been injured.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
