complete verse (Numbers 25:18)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 25:18:

  • Kupsabiny: “because they caused you (plur.) trouble when they deceived you (plur.) to worship Baal of Peor, and again because of the matters of their daughter Cozbi, who was killed on that day when the plague was there.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Attack the Midianites and destroy them, for when the plague that came by reason of Peor, when you were deceived by what happened at Peor and because of Cozbi, they attacked you. Cozbi was daughter of a Midianite leader and she was killed in plague of Peor."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “because they also have considered you (plur.) as enemies by their deceiving you (plur.) there at Peor, and because also of the woman Cozbi the child of a Midianite leader/[lit. head]. This woman was-killed that time when the disaster/destruction/affliction came/arrived at Peor.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because one of your men had sex with Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague started because the people sinned at Peor Mountain.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
