complete verse (Nehemiah 10:37)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 10:37:

  • Kupsabiny: “We shall bring good flour and food used for blessing/gifts, our good fruits together with wine that has recently been brewed and olive oil. We shall keep that harvest in the granaries/stores in the House of our God. We shall be bringing to the Levites one part of ten of everything that comes from our fields, because they are the ones who go around collecting that percentage in all areas where we live.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “We (excl.) still promise that we (excl.) will-bring to the priests, there in the storehouse of the temple of our (excl.) God, our (excl.) best kind of flour and still the other gift offerings. We (excl.) will- also -bring our (excl.) best fruits, and the best new wine and olive oil. We (excl.) will- also -bring to the Levites the tenth of our (excl.) produce, for they are- the -ones-who-collect the tenth from all the towns that have farms. When the Levites are- now collecting the tenths,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘We will also take to the priests at the temple the flour made from the first grain that we harvest each year, and our other offerings of wine, olive oil, and fruit. We will also take to the descendants of Levi who help the priests the tithes/10% of the crops that we grow on our land, because they are the ones who collect the tithes in all the villages where we work/live.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
