complete verse (Numbers 12:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 12:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “Moses had married a girl who hailed from the land of Cush. Miriam and Aaron opposed Moses because of that.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Moses married a Cushite woman. By reason of that woman, Miriam and Aaron began to criticize him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, Miriam and Aaron spoke-bad-thing-against Moises because he had-married the one-who-comes-from-Etiopia.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Moses’/My older sister Miriam and his/my older brother Aaron were saying this: ‘Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us ? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?’ They told people that they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, but they were really saying that because they were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
