Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 17:4:
- Kupsabiny: “instead of bringing it to the courtyard of the Tent to present it to God, that man is judged to be a killer and then he has brought the matter (problem, punishment) on himself. That man shall be chased away from his people.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “If anyone among the Israelites sacrifices a cow or a bull or sheep or goat in a place away from the entrance to the Tent of Meeting instead of bringing the sacrifice to the holy Tabernacle as an offering to the LORD, he has broken the law. It is the same as if he has shed blood. He must be driven out from [among] his people.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “and not in the Meeting-together-place Tent, (has done something which is) just-like he has-killed a person, so you (plur.) are- no-longer -to-considered him a member of you (plur.). These regulations/[lit. what-is-to-be-followed] were-made in-order-that you (plur.) would-do the offering there near the entrance of the Tent and not in other places. So your (plur.) gift offering you (plur.) are-to-give to the priest who is-the-same-one-(who) will-offer it to the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal in an unacceptable place. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my people.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
