complete verse (Deuteronomy 13:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 13:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “But that prophet or person using dreams is to be killed, because he taught you to rebel against the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt and saved you from where you were slaves. Those people want to pull you away from the path that your God told you to follow. Kill those people in order to get rid of the evil among you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “That prophet or dreamer must be killed. For he turned you from the way of following the decrees of the LORD your God who brought you out from slavery in Egypt. He tried to teach you rebellion against God. You must remove such kind of evil deeds from among you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “That prophet or interpreter of the meaning of a dream must be-put-to-death, because he is-teaching you (plur.) to rebel against the LORD your (plur.) God who caused- you (plur.) -to-come-out of Egipto and redeemed you (plur.) from slavery. That people is- only -trying/urging you (plur.) to turn-away from the ways that the LORD your (plur.) God commanded you (plur.) to follow. You (plur.) must eliminate this wickedness from among you (plur.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘But you must execute anyone who falsely says that he is a prophet, or someone who falsely says that he can interpret dreams, or who tells you to rebel against Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt. People like that are only wanting to cause you to stop conducting your lives as Yahweh has commanded you to do. Execute them, to get rid of this evil among you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
