complete verse (Ezra 3:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 3:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then (they) made/offered to God sacrifices that are completely burned each day, for the new moon and for any other ceremony of God. Those people again gave/offered sacrifices to God that any person gives from love only (free will offering).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “In addition to this, they offered the regular daily burnt offering, the new moon sacrifice and the offerings for all the annual holy festivals prescribed by the LORD. With these they offered all the free will offerings that they brought for the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Aside from the burnt offerings that they offer morning and afternoon, they also offered offerings for each Feast of the Beginning of the Moon and for the other feasts for worshipping the LORD. And they also offered freewill offerings for the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Even though they were afraid of the people who were already living in that area, they rebuilt the altar at the same place where the previous altar had been. Before they started to lay the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, the priests started to burn sacrifices to Yahweh on the altar. They offered sacrifices every morning and every evening. Fifteen days after they started to offer these sacrifices, the people celebrated the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, as Moses had commanded them to do in the laws that God gave to him. Each day the priests offered the sacrifices that were required for that day. In addition, they presented the regular burned offerings and the offerings that were required for the New Moon Festivals and the other festivals that they celebrated each year to honor Yahweh. They also brought other offerings only because they desired to bring them, not because they were required to bring them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
