complete verse (1 Chronicles 24:31)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 24:31:

  • Kupsabiny: “Lots were cast in order to get the work divided to those leaders following how it was done for the priests. Lots were cast in front of David, Zadok, Ahimelech and the leaders of the priests and of the Levites. The work was divided to those people without considering who was who.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “In the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the priests and Levites, they also cast lots like it had [previously] been done by the relatives of the descendants of Aaron.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Like what the descendants of Aaron had-done, they also drew-lots to know their obligations, either young or old. They did this before/[lit. in front of] King David, Zadok, Ahimelec, and the leaders/[lit. heads] of the families of the priests and Levites.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The jobs they would do were decided by casting lots/throwing marked stones, like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the other descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
