complete verse (Nehemiah 12:44)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 12:44:

  • Kupsabiny: “On that day men were appointed/selected who would be in charge of the place for storing the things that were collected in the House of God, the first food of the harvest and (the) share of ten (tithe). They are the ones who used to be collecting food from the fields as the law about the priests and Levites requires, because all the people of Judah loved the priests, Levites together with their work.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “In that day also, they appointed males/men to be-in-charge of the storehouses which is the place-to-put of the gifts, first produce, and the tenths. They were the ones-to-collect the offerings from the farms around the towns for the priests and for the Levites, according to the Law. For the people of Juda was pleased of the works of the priests and of the Levites.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “On that day, men were appointed {they appointed men} to be in charge of the storerooms where they kept the money that people contributed for the temple. They also kept there the other things that the people contributed— the tithes and the first part of the grain and fruit that was harvested each year. Those men collected those things from the fields/farms near the cities, and took them to Jerusalem and gave them to the priests and the other descendants of Levi, as Moses had said in his laws that they should do. All the Israeli people were happy about the work that the priests and the descendants of Levi did,” (Source: Translation for Translators)
