complete verse (Leviticus 1:17)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 1:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “The burner of sacrifices shall take the wings of the bird and split/divide them but not separate them into two. Then he is to burn the bird on top of the firewood which is burning on the altar. Those are sacrifices which are burned completely when offered through fire to give a sweet smell towards God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Furthermore, the wings of the sacrificial bird must be torn a bit but without tearing it apart. The priest must burn the bird on the wood on top of the fire which is on the altar. This is a special gift, a Burnt Offering a pleasing fragrance to the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He will-divide- the bird -in-two by spreading-(out) the wings of it but he will- not completely/[limiting particle] -tear-(off) the wings. Then he will-burn the bird on the altar as a burnt offering. The fragrant-aroma of this offering by-means-of fire will-cause- the LORD -to-be-glad/pleased.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
