complete verse (Deuteronomy 29:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 29:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not let any person who has heard this oath think that maybe he is fine/good if he goes around doing these things that are not good. That thing/event will destroy you all no matter whether it is a good person or a bad one.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Among the people who have heard the blessings and the words of this covenant, may no one think, "Even though I am obstinate, going my own way, I will be delivered." This kind of thinking will bring disaster on the fields, both the watered and the dry.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Whoever hears the warnings of these curses will- not -think that he will- not -be-harmed even if he will-continue of what he just wants/wishes.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘e sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
