complete verse (Numbers 1:51)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 1:51:

  • Kupsabiny: “When that Tent is moved/migrated, the clan of Levi shall take it down and they are the ones who shall be spreading/setting it up. But any other person who comes near to that Tent, is to be killed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When moving [it] to [another] place, the Levites must [be the ones] to take the holy tabernacle down and the Levites must [be the ones] to set it up. If anyone who is not authorized goes near the holy tabernacle, he must be killed.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When the Tent is- now -to-be-transferred/moved, they will-be- the -ones-to-put- it -away, and if [it is] to-be-set-up again, they still will-be the-(ones) to-set- it -up. Anyone who will-do this work/doings in the Tent who (is) not (a) descendant of Levi, will-be-killed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Whenever it is time for all of you to move to another location, the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent to do this work must be executed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
