• Kupsabiny: “So, God made me think of calling/assembling the leaders together with all the people of the city, so that they are written/registered according to their families. I had gotten hold of the written records which were showing the background information about those people who first went back to Judah. This is how it was written:” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Therefore God put into my mind to gather the leaders/[lit. heads], officers, and the other residents in-order to census them according to each family. I found the list of the families who had- first -returned from being-captive. This is what was-written there:” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “To defend the city, we needed more people there. Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and other people, and to look in the books in which were written the names of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:” (Source: Translation for Translators)
