Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 14:23:
- Kupsabiny: “Bring one out of ten of your things and eat (them) in front of God in a place that he will choose to become where he is to be worshipped. The things to bring are: food that is given (as a gift), wine, olive oil the firstborns of your cattle and sheep/goats. Do like that so as to learn to obey/honor your God always.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Every year only in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His name, eat the tenth part of your grain, wine and Olive oil, and the first born of your herd and flocks before the LORD. You are to do like this so that you will always know how to honor Him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) are-to-bring the tenth-portion of your (plur.) grain, wine/[lit. juice of grapes] and oil, and the first-born of your (plur.) animals to the place which the LORD your (plur.) God will-choose where he is-be-honored. And there you (plur.) are-to-eat them in his presence. You (plur.) are-to-do this so-that you (plur.) will-learn to always obey the LORD your (plur.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Take those things to the place that Yahweh our God will choose for you to worship him. There eat the tithes of your grain, your wine, your olive oil, and the meat of the firstborn male animals of your cattle and your sheep. Do this in order that you may learn to always revere Yahweh, the one who has blessed you by giving you these things.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
