Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 5:13:
- Kupsabiny: “The people who were using musical instruments and those who called out the song joined together in song sounding sweet/nice. Those people sang loudly praising God and thanking him saying, ‘God is good, and he loves people for years and years.’ And then, a cloud enveloped the House of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The trumpet players and the singers praised the LORD in unison and gave Him thanks. Speaking out loudly in this way, they praised the LORD with trumpets, cymbals and other instruments,
‘Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good,
His love continues to exist forever."
At that time a cloud covered the temple of the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The singers were praising and thanking the LORD accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments. This is what they were-singing:
‘The LORD is God; his love is without end.’
Then there was a cloud that filled the temple of the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “The men blowing trumpets, those playing the cymbals and other musical instruments, and the singers, made music together, praising Yahweh and singing this song:
‘Yahweh is good to us;
he faithfully loves us forever.’
Then suddenly the temple was filled with a cloud.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
