Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 12:40:
- Kupsabiny: “That food was brought even from far like the areas/provinces of the clan of Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali. The food was being carried by donkeys, camels, horses and oxen. The people were brought flour, cakes of figs, grapes, wine and oil. Also cows and many sheep were brought to be slaughtered. It was like that because there was much joy in the land of Israel.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The people of the tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali also brought wheat flour, fig balls, raisin clusters, wine, olive oil loaded on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. Having slaughtered them, they also came bringing cows, oxen and sheep to eat. The people of Israel rejoiced greatly.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Their blood-relatives were from the far-away places of Issachar, Zebulun, and Neftali. They loaded them on donkeys, camels, mules, and cows. They had plenty of flour, dried figs, raisins, wine, oil, cows, and sheep. All were very happy in Israel.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
