Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 12:33:
- Kupsabiny: “Jeroboam set aside the fifteenth day of the eighth month to become a feast day like the festive day in Judah. He also called the priests whom he had chosen to go to Bethel. But on the feast day which he had arranged, he went to Bethel. Then, he went up to the altar and burnt sweet-smelling things. Then, sacrifices were burnt to that idol which was worshipped.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “So on the 15th day of the 8th month, the day he himself had chosen, he went to Bethel to offer sacrifices on the altar he had built there. He started a festival for the Israelites, and he went to offer sacrifices on the altar.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “On that day that he sacrificed on the altar that he had-made at Betel, he started the feast for the Israelinhon. He himself chose the 15th day of the eight month for this feast.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Jeroboam went up to that altar on that day in October which he himself had chosen. There on that altar he burned incense to be a sacrifice. And he declared that the people should celebrate that festival on that same day every year.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
