Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 23:16:

  • Kupsabiny: “If you do not keep the covenant of your God and you worship false gods/idols, God will become angry and will punish you. He will destroy you so that not even one person is left in this beautiful land that he gave you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “For if you do not obey the obligations of the covenant that the LORD, your God has made with you and if you serve and do puja to other gods he will punish you in his great anger. Then he will quickly destroy you from this good land that he has given you."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Yes, this will-happen to you (plur.) if you (plur.) disobey the agreement of the LORD your (plur.) God which he commanded that you (plur.) are-to-obey/follow, and if you (plur.) worship and serve other gods. He will- surely -make- you (plur.) -feel/experience his anger and you (plur.) will- suddenly -be-destroyed in this good land which he has-given to you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “That will happen if you do not obey the commands that Yahweh our God told you to obey. If you serve other gods and worship them, Yahweh will become very angry with you. Very quickly he will expel you from this good land that he has given to you, and none of you will be left here.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
