complete verse (Numbers 16:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 16:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do you think that it is a small matter that God set you apart from all the other Israelites? ‘Hey, don’t you see that he has set you apart so you could come near to him and be working in his Tent standing in front of the people so you could be assisting?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Is it not even enough for you to get that the LORD chose you from all the community of Israel to serve before the community and to do the work in the LORD’s holy Tabernacle?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “(Is it) still not enough for you (plur.) that from the entire community of Israel you (plur.) were-chosen by the God of Israel that can-come-near to his presence to serve on his Tent, and to serve for the community?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing to you ?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
