complete verse (Deuteronomy 1:36)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 1:36:

  • Kupsabiny: “The only person who will see that land is Caleb son of Jephunneh. I shall give him that land which he has stepped on. That land will become his and his grandchildren because he trusted in me completely.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh will be privileged to see that country. Since he followed the LORD from his inmost heart I will give to him and his descendants the ground on which he walked [lit.: put his footstep]."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “except for Caleb the child/(son) of Jefune. He will-see this, and I will-give to him and to his descendants this land which he spied-(out), for he followed me with his whole heart.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants some of the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
