Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 21:36:

  • Kupsabiny: “But if that bull is used to knocking others all the time and the owner has not been taking care of it, let him give another bull to pay for the dead one and the dead one becomes his.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “if it was known that the ox had the habit of gorging, yet the owner did not keep it under control, the owner must pay, animal for animal, and the dead animal will be his.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But if the bull that killed had-a-habit of goring and the owner had- just -let-(it)-be/allowed-(it)-to-do-whatever, the owner should also pay-for a cow in exchange-for the dead-one, and this dead bull will-now -become his.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Bariai: “But if they knew that that bulmakao was fighting all the time, yet its owner didn’t put him into a pen, he must pay back [with] another of his bulmakaos to the owner of that bulmakao which died. And the bulmakao which died also will become his.’” (Source: Bariai Back Translation)
  • Opo: “Or, if they before were warning its owner that that cow butts domestic animal other, and he not it leash, he must exchange cow which died with that which lives.»” (Source: Opo Back Translation)
  • English: “However, if people know that the bull often attacked other animals previously, and its owner did not keep it inside a fence, then the owner of that bull must give the owner of the bull that died one of his own bulls, but he can take away the animal that died and do with it whatever he wants to do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
