Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 19:9:
- Kupsabiny: “A man who is clean shall gather the ashes of the cow and place it in a clean place outside the camp. The ashes are to be kept for the community of Israel so as to prepare from it the water of ceremonies that wash away sin.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Someone who is clean must gather the ashes of that calf and keep it in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. The Israelite community must keep them so that they can be used to make the water of purification. This water is used in the ceremony for the removal of sin. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘The man who is-considered clean is the one-who-will-take the ashes of the cow, and he will-put them in a place which is-considered clean outside the camp. They will-be-kept it but will-be-used by the community of Israel for mixing with water which is for becoming-clean. This ceremony is-performed so-that the sin is taken-away.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘hen someone who has not become unacceptable to me must gather up the ashes of the cow and put them in a sacred place/place that is acceptable to me outside the camp. The ashes must be kept there for the people of Israel to use when they mix it with water for the ritual to remove the guilt of sin.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
