Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 4:25:
- Kupsabiny: “And again, when you have lived in that land and gotten children and grandchildren, do not be disobedient so that you shape anything to worship. That is a sin before God and it makes him angry.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “After you have lived many years in that land and after you have given birth to children and grandchildren, if you anger Him [lit.: cause Him to feel anger] by becoming corrupt, carving idols, by doing work that the LORD your God does not like,” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Some-time-later, when you (plur.) have-children and grandchildren, and have-lived already/now in the said land for a long time, you (plur.) do- not -let- yourselves -get-dirty/become-unclean by making little-gods/(idols) in any form. This is evil in the sight of the LORD your (plur.) God and can-provoke- him -to-anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘hen you have been in the land of Canaan for a long time and you have children and grandchildren, do not sin by making an idol that represents anything at all, because Yahweh says that is evil, and if you do that, you will cause him to become angry with you and punish you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
