complete verse (Nehemiah 13:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 13:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “There and then, I said, the gates of the city shall always be locked in the evening on the sixth day without opening them until the Sabbath is ended. I also sent some of my servants to be guarding the gates so that no one brings things for sale on the Sabbath day.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore I commanded to lock the entrance/gate of the city every Friday afternoon, and this will- not -be-opened until the Day For-Resting is over. I caused- my men -to-guard the entrance/gates so-that there is none that something-to-be-sold could-enter into the city on the Day For-Resting.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So I ordered that at the beginning of every Sabbath day/every Friday evening they should shut the gates of the city before it became dark. I also ordered that they should not open the gates until the Sabbath day was ended the next day/Saturday evening. Then each Sabbath day I put some of my men at the gates, so they would make sure that nothing to sell was brought into the city on that day.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
