Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 12:18:
- Kupsabiny: “Eat those things in front of your God at the place he alone will choose, together with your sons, your daughters, your male and female slaves and the Levites who you live with in your villages. Do that while rejoicing in front of your God for the wealth that he gives you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Rather, you, with your children, your servants and maid servants, and the descendants of Levi living in your city, are to eat in the place He has chosen. You are to celebrate before the LORD your God, rejoicing in all the work that you do.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But-rather you (plur.) shall- only -eat them in the presence of the LORD your (plur.) God there in the place that he will-choose with your (plur.) children, servants, and the Levites who live in your (plur.) towns. You (plur.) shall-rejoice in the presence of the LORD your (plur.) God in all that you (plur.) will-do.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
