Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 3:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “Jeshua son of Jozadak and the other priests and Zerubbabel son Shealtiel with his family had built the altar of the God of Israel. They wanted to burn on it sacrifices that are completely burnt following how it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Jeshua, son of Jehozadak, and his related priests, and Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and his relatives, being united, built the altar of the God of Israel to offer burnt offerings as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then the altar of God of Israel was-built-up again so-that burnt offerings could-be-offered-on it, according to what-was-written in the Law of Moises his servant. The ones-who-built it were Jeshua the child of Jozadak and his fellow priests, and Zerubabel the child of Shealtiel and his relatives.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Jeshua, the son of Jehozadak, and his fellow priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his friends, all began to rebuild the altar of God, the one whom the Israeli people worshiped. They did that in order that they could sacrifice burned offerings on it, according to what the prophet Moses had written in the laws that God gave to him.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
