Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 23:32:

  • Kupsabiny: “This day is for rest and you need to abstain from eating. This day of rest begins on the ninth day after the sun has set in that month until the day that follows when the sun has set.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “This is a day purely for rest and recovery for you. From sundown of the 9th day of the month until sundown of the next day you must keep this Sabbath by fasting.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So [you (plur.)] rest and fast starting from the setting-of-the-sun of the day on the ninth day of that month until the following the setting-of-the-sun of the day. You (plur.) and your (plur.) descendants in generations to come coming/future generations must obey these regulations/decrees/[lit. what-is-to-be-followed], wherever you (plur.) live.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must fast/abstain from eating food to show that you are sorry for having sinned. That day of rest and fasting/abstaining from eating food will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
