complete verse (Leviticus 5:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 5:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “‘If a person does not give the gifts that must be offered as belonging to God, that person has sinned even if he did not intend to. Then he must bring a ram without blemish which is taken to God to have his sin appeased. The ram must be fitting to how silvers (money) are paid in the Tent of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If anyone sins without realizing regarding the LORD’s holy things, he must sacrifice a ram without defect from the flock at the LORD’s place as a penalty. The value of the ram will be declared in shekels of the sanctuary. It is a guilt offering.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If a person has-disobeyed/trespassed the command of the LORD because he was- not -able-to-give the thing which (is) supposed-to-be for the LORD, even-though he did- not -intend-to, (it is) necessary that he offers a male sheep with no defects as a payment for his sin. Or he will-pay (it) with silver the value of the sheep according to the weight of the silver on the scale of the priests. This is an offering as a payment for sin.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
