complete verse (Malachi 3:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Malachi 3:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “Bring one out of ten of your things to come to the treasury of my House so that there can be much food there. Please test me if you shall not see up there (heaven/sky) be open and I shall pour out on you gifts until you have nowhere to store (them)?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Bring all the tithe into the storehouse so that there will always be enough food to eat in my house. Test me in these things and see if there will be blessings from the open door in the heavens towards your storehouse till there is no more space to put it," says the LORD Almighty.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, I am-defying/challenging you (plur.) that you (plur.) try/test me, the LORD Almighty. You (plur.)bring your (plur.) whole tenth to the storehouse of the temple so-that there (will be) food in my temple. If you (plur.) do this, I will- now -send you (plur.) rain and give with surpassing/more-than-enough/[lit. excess-excess] blessing.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Take to the Temple all the tenth of your harvest so-that the food there becomes-much. That’s how you will test me so-that you can-see how I will open the storage-place of wealth in heaven so-that I will-pour-out (Ilo. loan often used figuratively) many blessings on you.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “Now bring all the tithes to the storage rooms in the temple, in order that there will be enough food for the people who serve me there. If you do that, I, the Commander of the armies of angels, promise that I will open the windows of heaven, and pour out from them blessings on you. If you bring your tithes to the temple, the blessings will be very great, with the result that you will not have enough space to store all of them. So test me to see if I am telling the truth.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
