Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 24:4:
- Kupsabiny: “then the first husband must not again marry that woman. It is like that, because the woman did something bad. And again God does not want such a word/matter because it brings sin to that country which he shall give you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “the first husband who rejected her, is not to marry her again after she has been unclean. For this matter is repulsive to the LORD. You are not to bring sin in this way into the land that the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “she no-longer to-be-married again by her first husband for she became now unclean. If her first husband shall-marry her again, this is detestable in the sight of the LORD. You (plur.) must not do that sin in the land that the LORD your (plur.) God is-giving you (plur.) as your (plur.) inheritance.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting if he married her again. You must not sin by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
