Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zechariah 4:7:
- Kupsabiny: “Zerubbabel, every hindrance shall be removed before you even if it is big like a big hill. People shall rejoice on that day when the House of God is completed while saying: That is all, please.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “O mighty mountain, what are you? Before Zerubbabel, you will become a level plain. Then he will bring out the capstone of the Temple and put it in its place, and the people will call out, ‘May God bless it! May God bless it!’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Even-though the obstacle you (sing.) are-facing (is) as-big-as the mountain, it will-flatten-out. The temple will- really -be-finished, and as its last stone is-put-in-place, the people will-shout, ‘LORD, bless this!’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Zerubbabel, you have many difficult matters to handle. They are like high mountains. But they will become easy to handle, as though they will become flat land. And you will bring to the temple the final stone to complete the rebuilding of the temple. When you do that, all the people will shout repeatedly, ‘It is beautiful! May God bless it!’’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
