complete verse (Leviticus 13:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 13:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “It is clear that the person has a serious wound. Then the priest shall say that the person is not clean and needs to be put completely aside (from others).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “his/her body certainly has this contagious disease. And the priest must judge him/her as unclean. Since that one has been judged unclean the priest does not need to isolate him/her for seven days,” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “it (is) a disease that keeps-coming-back. And the priest will-let-(it)-be-known/will-announce that he/she (is) dirty/unclean. There-is-no need to-separate/to-isolate him/her for observation for (it is) now clear that he/she is dirty/unclean.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
