  • Kupsabiny: “And in the eighteenth year of him ruling, he said that the House of God was to be renewed/rebuilt. The people whom Josiah chose to be in charge of that work was Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the ruler of the city and Joah son of Joahaz who was writer/secretary.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “After he had purified the land and the temple, in the 18th year of his becoming king, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, Maaseiah, ruler of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the one who keeps accounts for the government to repair the temple of the LORD his God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “In the 18th year of the reign of Josia, after he had-cleaned the land and the temple, he decided to repair the temple of the LORD his God. He entrusted this work to Shafan the child of Azalia, the governor of Juda who was Maasea, and to the leader of the records/writings of the kingdom who was Joa, the child of Joahaz.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he did something else to cause the land and the temple to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh. He sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the governor of the city and Joah the son of Joahaz, who wrote on a scroll what happened in the city, to repair the temple of Yahweh.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
