complete verse (Malachi 1:8)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Malachi 1:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “The God of authority is saying, ‘It is bad when you bring blind animals to use them as sacrifices to me. It is not good to give/present animals that are lame of sick. Would your ruler/king be happy if you brought him such animals?‘” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD Almighty says, "You bring blind animals to be sacrificed, is this not wrong? You bring lame and sick animals and offer them to me. Is this not wrong? Try to give them to your governor! Would he be happy with you? Would he accept you?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “That is you (plur.) offer blind, lame, or sickly animals. That (is) not right! You (plur.) try to give your (plur.) governor the same-as that kind of animals. Very surely he will- not -be-happy with you (plur.) and he will- not -show you (plur.) kindness.’ This is what the LORD Almighty said.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Do you think (lit. say) that your offering to me one-eyed, lame and sick animals is right? You go-right-ahead-then-and (argumentative reproof particle) try giving (such offerings) to the governor so-that it-can-be-seen whether he is pleased with you.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “You offer for sacrifices animals that are blind. Is that not wrong?/That is disgusting! And you offer for sacrifices animals that are crippled or that have diseases. Is that also not wrong?/That also is disgusting! If you tried to give presents like that to your governor, do you think that he would be pleased?/he would certainly not be pleased! Would he accept such gifts?He would certainly not accept such gifts! That is what the Commander of the armies of angels says!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
