complete verse (Leviticus 25:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 25:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “If you buy a field from another person, you (plur.) should agree about it in a way that is in accordance with the days that have passed from the year of release. The person who sells a field to you should pay back/refund to you according to the years which remain before the year of release arrives.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When you settle on the price for a field, agree upon it, keeping account of the time [you] have done field work since the last Year of Jubilee. The price is to be set according to the number of years the land can produce crops before the next Year of Jubilee.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The price of the land must (be) according-to the number of years which it can-produce before/[lit. not yet] the next Year of the Setting-Free and Returning.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If you buy land, the price that you will pay will depend on the number of years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. If someone sells land to you, he will charge a price that is determined by the number of years until the next Year of Celebration.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
