Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 23:18:
- Kupsabiny: “Then, Jehoiada gave the priests to do their work in the House of God like it was before according to the laws of God. They made sacrifices for God that were burned completely following how it was written in the law of Moses. (He) also placed the Levites to sing and praise God like David had said.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Jehoiada also gave the priests the responsibility to care for the temple. From this time on [they] were to offer burnt offerings for the LORD with praise and rejoicing as prescribed in the law of Moses, and to do the work in the temple which David had ordered them to do.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Then Jehoyada entrusted to the priests who were-descendants of Levi the administering of the temple of the LORD same-as what David had-done before. They will-offer burnt offerings according to (what) was written in the law of Moises, and will-rejoice and will-sing according to (what) David had-commanded.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Then Jehoiada appointed the priests, who were also descended from Levi, to work at the temple. They were part of the group to whom King David had given various jobs at the temple, to sacrifice the animals that were to be completely burned on the altar, doing what was written in the laws that Moses had given to them. He also told them to rejoice and sing, which was also what David had commanded.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
