Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 27:14:
- Kupsabiny: “It is like that because you both disobeyed my word when the people grumbled against me in the wilderness of Zin. You did not honor me in front of the people when people asked for water.’ (This word/matter happened at Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “for you both rebelled against my commands in the wilderness of Zin. When the people of Israel rebelled for water, you failed to demonstrate my holiness to them." (This was in the wilderness of Zin, being at the waters of Meriba-Kadesh.)” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “For when the community of Israel rebelled against me there at spring of the desert of Zin, you (plur.) (and) Aaron disobeyed my command when you (plur.) showed my holiness to the people.’ (This spring is-namely Meriba Kadesh, in the desert of Zin.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The reason that you will die and not enter that land is that you both disobeyed my instructions/commands in the Zin Desert. When the Israeli people rebelled against me there at Meribah, near Kadesh, I told you to speak to the rock to cause water to flow out of it. But because you struck the rock instead of speaking to it, you did not show the people my holy power.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
