Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 23:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then, it was done like Jehoiada had said. The commanders of Levites led all the people who were on duty and those who were off duty on that day of Sabbath, because Jehoiada wanted that all people should come for work.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The Levites and all the people of Judah did as Jehoiada the Priest said. They took both groups of people with them– those who came on the Sabbath as well as those who left on the Sabbath. Because Jehoiada the priest did not give leave to either group.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The Levites and all (the people) of/from-Juda did what Jehoyada the priest had-commanded. The commanders gathered their men who were-guarding on the Day For-Resting, including those who are not on duty/guard that day. Jehoyada did not let the Levites go-home even-though their turn is already done.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So the descendants of Levi and all the men of Judah did what Jehoiada had told them. He did not allow anyone to go home after having finished his work on that Sabbath day. Each commander took charge of his men, the ones who were finishing their work on that day and those who were starting their work on that day.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
