complete verse (Exodus 25:31)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 25:31:

  • Kupsabiny: “Someone make a thing where lamps are placed. Pure gold is to be formed and attached on that thing at the floor/down and the backbone/stem. Something like flowers which have blossomed should be made for that thing and all should sprout from the backbone/stem of that thing.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “‘You make a lampstand of pure gold. To make its base, buds, flowerlike cups, blossomes of one piece pure gold.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘[You (sing.)] also have-(someone)-make a thing-to-put- the lamp -on, that its feet, body, and the decorative flowers are pure gold, wherein some/others are still buds and some/others are- already -blossoming. The decoration was- already -formed previously along-with the body of the thing-to-put- the lamp -on when it was-made.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Bariai: “God spoke again like this, ‘You (pl.) must take good gol and then make it into a lam’s stand (lit. leg), for putting lams onto. Hit the gol with a pounding stone and so make the lam stand’s base and its trunk and its branches to be for spaces for the putting of lams. And make the lam’s spaces from gol so that they look like hibiscus blossoms. And all of the lam stand’s things, you must make from a single piece of gol.” (Source: Bariai Back Translation)
  • Opo: “«And you take gold which not [eye] mixed with other things, pound it for lampstand. Its stool with mother of its wood, with its bowls, with its leaf, with its flower, you forge it together.” (Source: Opo Back Translation)
  • English: “‘Tell them to make a lampstand from pure gold. They must hammer one large lump of gold to make its base and its shaft. The branches of the lampstand, the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the flower petals that decorate the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft are all to be hammered from one big lump of gold.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
