complete verse (Nehemiah 10:39)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 10:39:

  • Kupsabiny: “The people and the Levites shall be bringing food offerings to be used for blessing/gifts, wine that was recently been brewed/new wine and olive oil and put in the House of God because that is where the vessels for use are and also the priests live there and the workers plus dancers/singers. So let us never abandon the House of our God.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The Israelinhon, as-well-as the Levites, should bring grain offering, new wine and oil there in the storehouse where the equipment of the temple are-being-placed and where the priests who serve, the guards of the entrance/gate of the temple, and the singers stay/live/dwell.
    Therefore we (excl.) promise that we (excl.) will- not -abandon the temple of our (excl.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The descendants of Levi and some of the other Israeli people must take 10% of the offerings of grain, wine, and olive oil to the storerooms where the various utensils that are used in the temple are kept. That is the place where the priests who are serving at that time, the temple guards, and those who sing in the temple choir live.
    We promise that we will not neglect taking care of the temple of our God.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
