complete verse (2 Chronicles 2:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 2:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “How can I build for God a house when even up there in heaven is not adequate for him? I am only able to build a house where sacrifices can be made to (him).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But if [even] the highest heavens are small for Him, can anyone build a temple for Him? Who am I to build a temple for Him? This is not for any task except to burn incense before Him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But who is really able to build a temple for him? For he indeed can- not -fit in heaven, even the highest part of heaven. So who really I (am) who can-build a temple for him? What I can only build is a place for burning the sacrifices in/before his presence.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But no one can really build a temple that would be big enough for God to live in, because even the highest heavens are not big enough for him. And I am worthy only to build a place where we can burn sacrifices to him.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
