complete verse (Deuteronomy 12:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 12:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “Even though it is like that, you (plur.) may slaughter your animals and eat the meat wherever you want, at any place where you shall be living. Do like that according to how much blessing God has given you. All the people may eat that meat whether it is a clean person or an unclean person like when the meat from an antelope or bush duiker is eaten.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Nevertheless in your cities, you can kill and eat animals as much as you like in accordance with the blessing the LORD God gives you. Like gazelles and deer, you can also kill animals from your herds and flocks to eat. Both ceremonially clean and unclean people may eat from it.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘You (plur.) can slaughter and eat animals anywhere you live. You (plur.) can eat its meat as-much-as- you (plur.) -want, just like you (plur.) eat a deer/usa or gazelle/gasela, according to the blessing that the LORD your (plur.) God is-giving you (plur.). Each man can eat it, either he/she is-considered unclean or clean.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
