Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 2:4:
- Kupsabiny: “I want to build for my God a house where he can be worshipped. That house will be set aside to become where one makes for God sacrifices of things that smell sweet and where breads for worship are placed. It will become where one makes sacrifices that are burned completely in every day in the morning and afternoon, on the day of Sabbath, when the month begins and for all the feasts/ceremonies that were prepared for our God like the people of Israel must always do.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “For I am about to build a temple for the LORD our God. It will be a holy place. There my subjects and I will worship him, [we] will offer incense, we will always offer bread by laying it out in rows, and we will offer sacrifices in the morning and the evening, [at] the Passover festival, the new moon festival, and at festivals that have been decided on by God. He has given the command that this always be done."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I will-build the temple for the honor of the LORD my God. This will-be a holy place which is a place-of-burning of the sweet-smelling/fragrant incense and to-be-offered always with the holy bread. Here also will-be-offered the burnt offerings every morning and evening, and on the Day For-Resting, in the Feast of the Beginning of the Moon and still the other feast to honor the LORD our God. This regulation should be followed by the Israelinhon forever/[lit. until whenever].” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘We are about to build a temple where we will worship Yahweh our God. We want to dedicate it to be a place where we will burn fragrant incense to honor him, and a place to put loaves of sacred bread, and for making sacrifices every morning and every evening and every Sabbath day, and to celebrate on the day of every new moon and at other special religious festivals to honor Yahweh our God. We want to do those things forever, like Yahweh has commanded.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
