Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 26:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “He also built things from which one can see far in the wilderness and many water holes. He did like that because he had many animals that were in the slopes and the plain. He had farmers and people who took care of vine plants in the hill and where the soil was fertile because he liked farming.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Because he had many cows and oxen in the territory located below him and in the open fields, he also built towers in the wilderness, and he dug many wells. He liked field work, and he encouraged people to prepare grape vineyards in the mountains and to do field work in fields that would bear much fruit.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He also built towers at the desolate-place and had-dug many holes/(cisterns) for storing of water because he had many animals in the hills in the west and in the valley. He was also fond of farming. He has men who take-care of his farm and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They also built watchtowers in the desert and dug many wells. They did that to provide water for a lot of the king’s cattle that were in the foothills and in the plains. Uzziah liked farming, so he also stationed workers to take care of his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile areas.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
