complete verse (Deuteronomy 31:29)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 31:29:

  • Kupsabiny: “I truly know that when I am dead, you will become bad people and you will abandon the path that I told you to follow. You shall suffer in the coming days, because you will do bad things before God and you will make him become angry on account of your actions.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “For I know that after I have died, you will abandon the way I told you to go and will become very corrupt. Because you have done evil in the eyes of the LORD and done puja to gods that you have made with your own hands you have provoked His anger, at a later time disaster will come upon you."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “For I know when I am now dead, surely you (plur.) will-do wickedness and you (plur.) will-forsake all that I am commanding you (plur.). Some time later, disasters will-come upon you (plur.) for you (plur.) will-do wicked-thing in the sight of the LORD and you (plur.) will-provoke- him -to-anger by what you (plur.) are going to do.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
