Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 13:30:

  • Kupsabiny: “the priest is to examine (it). If the area is dug/sunk and the hairs have become reddish the priest must say that the person is unclean. (He/she) has a serious wound.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The priest must examine that disease and if it has gone deep [into] the skin, and if its hair is thin [and] yellow, he must declare him/her unclean. it is a defiling itching disease on the head or chin.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “he must show this to the priest. If the skin forms-a-depression and the head-hairs or the beard is-turning-yellow and is-thinning-out/is-becoming-less-in-number, the priest will-let-it-be-known/will-pronounce that this person is dirty/unclean, for he has a-very-itchy-rash that is-growing on the head or chin.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
