complete verse (Deuteronomy 33:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 33:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “He blessed those people saying,
    ‘God led us from the Mountain of Sinai.
    He shone for us on the hills of Seir
    and gave us light when we were on the mountain of Paran.
    He was together with his community that was holy and big
    and a fire that was flaming in his right hand.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He said,
    "The LORD came from Sinai
    and came to appear for them from Seir.
    From Mount Paran He shone in light
    with innumerable holy ones
    from the south, from the heights of His mountain.
    In his right hand there was burning fire.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He said,
    ‘The LORD came from Sinai;
    he shone/appeared to us from Mount Seir like the rising of the sun.
    He shined from Mount Paran.
    He arrived with the thousands angels,
    and his right hand is-carrying a blazing fire.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “This is what he said:
    ‘Yahweh came and spoke to us at Sinai Mountain;
    he came like the sun rises in the Edom region
    and like his light shone on us when we were in the desert near Paran Mountain after we left Sinai Mountain.
    He came with 10,000 angels,
    and there was a flaming fire at his right side.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
