Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 19:34:
- Kupsabiny: “But take (him) as your person and love/accept (him) as you love/accept yourself because you (plur.) were also foreigners in Egypt. I am your God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “You must deal with foreigners who live with you just like you deal with the people of the land. You [are to] love them just like you love yourselves, since formerly, in Egypt, you were also foreigners. I am the LORD, your God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] treat them just-as your (plur.) fellowman, and [you (plur.)] love them the-same-as you (plur.) love yourselves (plur.)/[lit. your loving your own selves], for you (plur.) (were) also foreigners at-that-time back-then in Egipto. I am-the-one (who is) the LORD your God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt. I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you to do this.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
