Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 10:34:
- Kupsabiny: “We shall cast lots every year in order to identify the families of the priests, the Levites or all the people who would bring firewood to the place for burning sacrifices in the House of God to be used for burning offerings as the law states.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “We (excl.) the people-groups, as-well-as our (excl.) priests and the Levites, cast-a-lots so-that we (excl.) will-know when to bring firewood each of our (excl.) family each year to use-as-firewood for the offerings on the altar of the LORD our (excl.) God, as what was-written in the Law.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘Each year the priests, the other descendants of Levi who help the priests, and the rest of us will cast lots/throw marked stones to determine for that year which clans will provide wood to burn on the altar the sacrifices that are offered to Yahweh our God, in order to do what was written in the laws God gave to Moses.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
