complete verse (Leviticus 26:36)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 26:36:

  • Kupsabiny: “But for those who will become the remainder among you, I shall send nervousness to (them) when they are in the country of their enemies. If a tree blows/moves and a branch falls they shall jerk as if they heard enemies who had come, but no one is actually chasing them.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “’You who are still alive, even when you hear the sound of a falling leaf in the land of your enemies, you will run away in fear, thinking that a sword is pursuing [you], you will fall even though no one is pursuing you. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) who (are) the-(ones) left alive from war, who were-brought by your (plur.) enemies to their place, I will-cause-to-be- very -afraid. Actually, even just the rustling of leaves that are-blown by the wind you (plur.) will-flee as-if/just-like you (plur.) are-being-chased to-be- killed even (when) no one is-chasing you (plur.). And while you (plur.) are-fleeing you (plur.) will-stumble-over-each-other/knock-each-other and will-fall. So you (plur.) will- not -be-able-to-fight-against your (plur.) enemies.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘s for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies will have taken you, I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like you are running from a man carrying a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
