Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Malachi 1:13:
- Kupsabiny: “You raise noses towards me (saying), ‘We are fed up with these matters.’ You are using as sacrifices animals that are stolen, or those that are lame, or those that are sick. Should I be happy with those things that you give me?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “You also say, groaning, ‘Oh! what a bother all these sacrifice are.’ You insult and disrespect them, when you bring wounded, lame and sick animals and offer them to me as a sacrifice. What, should I accept such offerings from your hands?" says The LORD Almighty.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “And you (plur.) also said that you (plur.) (are) now disgusted in offering me, the LORD Almighty, and you (plur.) consider-as-no-value my altar. That is why you (plur.) offer me animals which (are) wounded, lame or sickly. Do you (plur.) think that I will accept those?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “You are arrogant in mocking/belittling and you say that you are bored/tired-of-it. Do you think perhaps that I will accept what you offer that are stolen, lame and sick animals?” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- English: “You say ‘We are tired of burning all these sacrifices on the altar.’ You turn up your noses at/act very disrespectfully toward me. When you bring to me animals that have been stolen or ones that are crippled or that have diseases, to offer them for sacrifices, do you think that I should accept them?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
