Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 12:27:

• Kupsabiny: “But/And when the new wall of Jerusalem was dedicated, all the Levites in the district were called to come and help in the celebrations. Those people would be called to the place of the feast/joy to sing to God and praise him using cymbals and lyres.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “At the time of the dedication of the stone-wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were-called from the place-where- they -lived. They were-caused-to-go to Jerusalem in-order to participate in the joyous celebration of the dedication of the temple by singing the songs of thanksgiving and playing the cymbals, harps, and lyres.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When we dedicated the wall around Jerusalem, we summoned the descendants of Levi who help the priests from the nearby places where they were living. We asked them to join with us to celebrate when we dedicated the wall. We wanted them to sing songs to thank Yahweh and make music by playing cymbals and harps and other stringed instruments.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
