complete verse (Ezra 10:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 10:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, let the leaders do those things for this group/assembly and plan with elders and the councilors of every village for an opportunity in which anyone who has married a foreign woman can come until the pain/wrath of God gets out from us.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Our leaders must do the work for all the people. Until God’s anger subsides, until this work is finished, those who have married foreign women in our city, must come at designated times with the judges and elders of their cities.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Let our (incl.) officials remain here and take-care of this for the entire assembly. Just let- the ones-who took-a-wife from the not Israelinhon -come here at a designated time with the ones-who-rule and judges of their town. Let- us (incl.) -do this so-that the fierce anger of God toward us (excl.) will-be-taken-away because of the thing which we (excl.) have-done.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So allow our leaders to decide for all of us what we should do. Tell everyone who has married a woman who is not Israeli to come at a time that you decide. They should come with the elders and judges from each city. If we do that, our God will stop being angry with us because of what we have done.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
