complete verse (2 Chronicles 8:8)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 8:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “There were some people whom Solomon forced to do work for him. Those people were Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites who remained in the land of Israel and (whom) the people of Israel were not able to destroy completely. Those people are still slaves up to today.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “These were descendants of the nations that the Israelites did not kill. Solomon made them slaves and had them do slave labor. It is still like that, even today.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “There were still people who were-left in Israel who were not Israelinhon. They were the descendants of Hithanon, Amornon, Periznon, Hivhanon, and Jebusnon, who were not totally killed by the Israelinhon when they took-by-force the land of Canana. Solomon made them slaves and forced-(them) to work, and they remained slaves until now.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
