complete verse (Leviticus 4:3)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 4:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “If a priest who has been anointed makes a mistake and brings evil/sin on people, he needs to bring a bullock which is spotless and use it to make a sacrifice to God by which that sin can be swept/washed away.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If the High Priest sins, guilt would fall on everyone. So for the sin which he committed, he must sacrifice a young bull without defect as a sin offering before the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If the head priest committed-a-sin which (was) not intentional, and because of this implicated the people, he must-offer to the LORD a young-bull cow with no defects as an offering for becoming-clean” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “’If the Supreme Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
