Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 12:27:
- Kupsabiny: “tell them that, ‘These (things) are the sacrifices of Passover which are done to God, because he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt while he was killing the Egyptians.’ ’ There/Then, the people bowed their heads so their faces/foreheads touched the ground and (they) praised God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord. He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared us and our homes when he killed the Egyptians.’ Then people bowed down and worshipped.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “this is what you (plur.) are-to-answer: ‘This is the Feast of the Passing-by of the Angel which is-being-celebrated to honor the LORD, for he just passed-by the houses of the Israelinhon when he killed the Egiptohanon.’ ’
After- Moises -finished talking, the Israelinhon knelt-down and worshiped the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - Bariai: “therefore you will speak to them like this, ‘We (incl.) do this feast of Pasova with its animal offering to the Chief, because we remember the day in which he struck the Isip people’s firstborn children so that they died, but he bypassed the houses of us Israel people and so left us together with our firstborn children so that we stayed well.’ ’
The people of Israel heard this talk and so they knelt down and put their heads down to the ground.” (Source: Bariai Back Translation) - Opo: “you shall answer for them it ‹This animal which we (incl.) slaughter thus, we (incl.) remember Day of Passing of Yahweh with it, because on day which he go hit Egyptians, he passed by house which we (incl.) live there.›»
When Moses spoke finished, people of Israel knelt down, entreated God.” (Source: Opo Back Translation) - English: “you must tell them, ‘This ritual is to remember how our ancestors sacrificed lambs on the night that Yahweh’s angel passed by the houses of the Israeli people when they were in Egypt. He killed the oldest males/sons in all the Egyptian houses, but he spared the sons in our houses.’’ After Moses/I told them this, they all bowed their heads and worshiped Yahweh.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
