complete verse (Leviticus 5:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 5:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “If the person is not able to offer two doves or pigeons he shall bring one two-liter container of flour for the sacrifice that is to be made for his sin. Olive oil or anything that smells sweet must not be added to that flour because that flour is for a sacrifice for sweeping away sin.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If it happens to be the case that he is not even able to bring two doves or two pigeons, he must bring 1/10 ephah of good wheat flour for the Purification Sacrifice. He must not put oil and incense in it. for it is a Purification Sacrifice.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But if he can- not -afford/[lit. does- not -have-ability] to-offer two doves or two pigeons, he is-to- now just -offer two kilograms of a good kind of flour. (It is) necessary that he not put- oil and incense -on this because this (is) an offering for becoming-clean, and not a gift offering.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “However, if you are very poor and cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin 2 pounds/1 kg. of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
