complete verse (Numbers 13:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 13:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “See if the soil may be fertile or not fertile, and see if there are trees or not. Try as much as you can to bring fruits from that country.’ (These were the days when the vines had the first ripe fruits.)” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Look at it! How is the land, is it fertile or dry? Does it have forests or not? Have courage and bring some fruit from there!" It happened to be the time [when] the first grapes were born.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) also see/look-at if the soil/land (is) productive or not, and if there (are) trees or not. And you (plur.) try very-hard that (you pl) can-bring-back some fruits in your (plur.) return.’ (That particular time (was) time-of-ripening of grapes.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Find out about the soil. Is it fertile/good for growing crops or not? Find out if there are trees there. Try to bring back some of the fruit that grows in that land.’ He/I said that because it was the beginning of the time to harvest grapes.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
