Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 2:5:
- Kupsabiny: “do not fight them because I am not going to give you any of the highland in their country. I will not give you even something small for you to step on with the leg/foot, because I gave the hills of Seir to the grandchildren of Esau to be theirs.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “You are not to incite them to fight for I will not even give you as much space in their land as to put a footstep. I have given the mountain country of Seir into the possession of Esau’s descendants.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) do- not -persecute them, for I am-giving to them the hills of Seir as their land, and I will- not -give you (plur.) their land even just a little (portion).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
