complete verse (1 Chronicles 22:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 22:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “Look, I have struggled to prepare these things so that the House of God can be built: Three and a half million (3,500,000) kilos of gold, thirty-four million (34,000,000) kilos of silver together with bronze and other metals/iron that is uncountable. I have also prepared boards and stones to the end. But you shall add other things.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Having gone to [a lot of] trouble to provide materials for building the temple of the LORD, I have gathered 3,400 tons of gold and 34,000 tons of silver. Not only that, I have gathered a great deal of iron and bronze. I have also prepared wood and rock, but you can add other [things] to that. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I have-labored so much in preparing the materials for the building of the temple of the LORD — 3,500 tons of gold, 35,000 tons of silver, and so much bronze and iron that can- not -be-weighed (due)-to heaviness. I also prepared woods and stones, but you (sing.) need to add more to them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘I have tried hard to provide materials for building the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone for the walls of the temple, but you may need to get some more of those things.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
