Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 9:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “Other/Some Levites proclaimed to the people saying to them, ‘Stand up and praise the Lord your God because he lives forever!’ These were: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah. Then those people continued saying, ‘Let his name be glorified/raised up! (He is) so great that it cannot be said.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The Levites who summoned the people to worship were Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabnea, Sherebia, Hodia, Shebania, and Petahea. They said, ‘[You (plur.)] stand and praise the LORD your (plur.) God without end!’
    Then they said, ‘O LORD, praised be to your (sing.) being-great! This can- not -be-equaled to our (excl.) praise.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “When that was so, the Levita who were Jesua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hasabneyas, Serebias, Hodias, Sebanias and Petahias said, ‘Stand-up so-that you will praise Yahweh your God.’ They prayed saying, ‘May you (sing.) be-praised forever even though the words of people do not suffice to properly praise the greatness (lit. highness) of your (sing.) name.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “Then the leaders of the Levites called out to the people. They were Jeshua, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah. They said, ‘While you are standing there, praise Yahweh your God, who has always lived and will live forever!’
    Then one of them continued by praying this to God,
    ‘Yahweh, we praise your glorious name! You are much greater than anything that we can think about or talk about!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
