complete verse (2 Chronicles 33:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 33:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “Manasseh did very many bad things to cause pain to God. He even burned his children making them sacrifices in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He liked/used to do sorcery, cursing, seeking omens and he also consulted ancestral spirits. He also worked with wizards.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He sacrificed his sons in fire in the valley of Ben-Hinnom. He did sorcery and tested good and evil. He did incantations and maintained relationships with ghosts, spirits, and souls. By doing much work which was displeasing to the LORD he made him angry.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He sacrificed his children in fire in the Valley/Plain of Ben Hinom. He also did what the sorcery, consulted-mediums and psychics/witchcraft were-doing, and asked the spiritists that talk to the souls of the dead. Very extreme (was) his sinning to the LORD, and this provoked/caused- the LORD -to-anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He even sacrificed some of his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
