Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 34:15:
- Kupsabiny: “Be careful. Do not make any agreement with people who live in that country where you are going to. If/When they make sacrifices to the things they kneel for/worship, they might invite you join the group and you follow their lifestyle of eating meat which was sacrificed (to idols).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Be careful, do not make a treaty with the people of that countries, otherwise they will also invite you the feast of worshiping with sacrifice to their god then you will eat their feast.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “You should- not -make agreement/covenant with the people who live in the land where you (plur.) were going. For you might be tempted to eat their sacrifices when they invite you to their sacrifice and worship to their gods.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Bariai: “‘And watch out well. You (pl.) can’t/mustn’t strike a decision/agreement with the people in that land. For they will lift up the names of their gods with their practice of sexual immorality, and so they kill animals to be their offering to them. And when they do like that, then they’re going to pull you so that you go together with them, and then you’ll be eating their offering food.” (Source: Bariai Back Translation)
- Opo: “you not (imp.) with them [ear] agree, because when they entreat god their, giving it thing on altar, they will call you you go do it with them together, and you will eat [flesh] animal of god their,” (Source: Opo Back Translation)
- English: “Do not make peace agreements with any group that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If you join them, you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who commit adultery, who are not being faithful to their spouses.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
