complete verse (Ezra 3:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 3:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “And thereafter, they gave money to the people who were stone builders and the carpenters. They gave food, wine and olive oil to the people of Tyre and Sidon so that they bring cedar. Those cedars was brought from Lebanon coming through the sea to Joppa. That work happened as king Cyrus of Persia had said.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “They gave money to masons and carpenters, and they gave food and drink and oil to men who lived in Tyre and Sidon to bring cedar wood from Lebanon to Jopaa via the sea route. For Cyrus, King of Persia had given permission to do like this.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The Israelinhon gave money to pay the ones who-hew the stones and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drinks, and oil to pay to those from-Sidon and from-Tyre for cedar woods that from Lebanon. These woods were-to-be-carried in the ships and be-brought to Jopa. This was-allowed by King Cyrus of Persia.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then the Israelis hired masons and carpenters, and they bought logs from cedar trees from the people of Tyre and Sidon cities, and they gave those people food and wine and olive oil for the logs. They brought the logs down from the mountains in Lebanon to the Mediterranean seacoast and then floated them along the coast of the Sea, to Joppa. King Cyrus permitted them to do that. Then the logs were brought from Joppa inland up to Jerusalem.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
