Question
What is the ruling regarding a verse that has no translation (such as 'Atarot and Dibon' - Numbers 32:3)?
Answer
One should read the verse three times. In our Chumashim, the translation of the text is already printed for verses that have no translation. Some are stringent and read the Jerusalem Targum.
Source
Berachot 8. - "A person should always complete his weekly portions with the congregation, twice the text and once the translation, even: Atarot and Dibon." The Rishonim are divided on whether in the verse 'Atarot and Dibon', which has no translation, one should read the text three times or if twice is sufficient, and some are stringent and hold that one should read the Jerusalem Targum (see Rashi and Tosafot there, Rambam, Chapter 13 of the Laws of Prayer, Law 25, Tur, Siman 285, Shulchan Aruch, there, Paragraph 1, Mishnah Berurah, Sk 3).
