- Kupsabiny: “There was a time when Joash told all the priests, ‘There are money that are being collected in this country which are given/gifts in the Homestead of God. These money are: those which each person must bring/pay, those that a person has vowed to God to give and those a person has accepted/loved to offer from his own stomach (heart).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Joash said to the priests, "Collect all the money which is brought to the temple of the LORD, as a holy offering, money collected in the census, money which is for a vow that is offered, or from a voluntary offering.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Joash said to the priests, ‘[You (plur.)] collect all the money that was-brought to the temple of the LORD as an offering: the money which was-collected from the census, the money as payment from the vows, and the money for a freewill offering.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Joash said to the priests, ‘You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
