Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 14:34:

  • Newari: “It took you forty days to explore that land. So you will have to bear the punishment for your sin for forty years, a year for each day. In this way you will know my opposition.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Because the people who had-spied/explored in the land stayed there for 40 days, you (plur.) also will-suffer for 40 years because of your (plur.) sin, so-that you (plur.) will-know how do I get angry to the ones who-go-against me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
