Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 26:16:
- Kupsabiny: “I shall send them suffering, sicknesses that are not curable and things that make you blind and finish you. You shall sow food but you shall get nothing because your enemies shall fight against you, defeat you and eat what you have sown.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “I will also inflict [lit.: send] sudden discipline upon you, I will send dreadful diseases that will harm the eyes and shrink the body. You will sow seed uselessly and in vain. For your enemy will eat your crops.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “this (is) what I will-do to you (plur.): You (plur.) will-be-tremble with fear because I will-send you (plur.) diseases that will- not -be-healed and fever(s) that will-destroy your (plur.) eyes and bodies. You (plur.) will-plant, but you (plur.) will- not -be-able-to-utilize this for your (plur.) enemies will-invade/attack you (plur.) and they will-eat your (plur.) crops.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
