Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 35:3:
- Kupsabiny: “Then Josiah said to the Levites who were doing the work of God and teaching the people of Israel, ‘Let the Box of the Covenant stay in the House of God that Solomon son of David built. And since it is not required that you continue to carry that box around, you shall be doing work for God and his people of Israel.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “He said to the Levites who had been assigned to teach Israel and do the service of the LORD, "Put the Ark of the Covenant in the temple built by Solomon, son of David, king of Israel. You do not need to go, carrying the Ark on your shoulders again. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “He also gave responsibilities to the Levites who were-teachers of Israel, who were-dedicated to serve the LORD. He said to them, ‘The holy box was now placed in the temple that Solomon the child of David had-built, and you (plur.) no longer need to carry (it). Now use your (plur.) time to serve the LORD your God and to his people Israelinhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The other descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, ‘Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that the workers of David’s son King Solomon of Israel built. But carry it on poles; do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
