complete verse (Leviticus 11:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 11:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not eat a rock badger because (it) chews the cud but the hooves are not divided. It, too, is not clean as far as you are concerned.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “And the hyrax — Even though it chews the cud, it’s hoofs are not split. It is unclean for you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But you (plur.) may- not -eat the animals which chews again their cud/food/what-they-ate but their hooves do-not-have splitting, just-like a camel and a rabbit. You (plur.) also may- not -eat the pig, for even-if its hoof is-split, it does- not -chew again its cud/what- it -ate. You (plur.) are-to-consider these animals dirty/unclean. You (plur.) are- not -to-eat their meat or even touch their dead bodies.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Rock badgers chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
