complete verse (Deuteronomy 3:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 3:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “Assist your brothers until when God has also blessed them to get their place as you have a place to live. Help them until they also get what the Lord your God is going to give them on the other side of the river Jordan. After that, you may return to your land which I have given you to be yours.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “You are to do like this as long as the LORD has not given respite to your brothers and as long as the LORD your God has not given them possession of the land west of the Jordan. After that all the men can return to the land I have given you as your possession."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When your (plur.) fellow Israelinhon now own the land across of Jordan which the LORD your (plur.) God is-giving them, and when they are now be-given security as what he had-done to you (plur.), you (plur.) can- now -go-back to the land which I gave to you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Your men must help your fellow Israelis until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan River, just like he did for you here on the east side of the river. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
