complete verse (Deuteronomy 33:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 33:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Those people refused their parents
    and said that they would never see them.
    They left their relatives
    and did not even know their children
    because they concentrated on your word
    and were keeping your covenant.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “They honored you more than they honored their own parents, brothers
    and children,
    They set their eyes on Your word
    and were the guardians of Your covenant.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They have-shown great loyalty to you than their parents, siblings, and children.
    They obeyed your word, and they kept your covenant.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The tribe of Levi did what you told them to do
    and obeyed the agreement that you made with the Israeli people;
    those laws were more important to them
    than their siblings and parents and children.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
