complete verse (2 Kings 16:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 16:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “After that, the king said to Uriah, ‘From now on you must make these sacrifices here: The morning sacrifices which are burned completely, the evening sacrifices of food that are given as gifts, the sacrifices which the king brings and those of the people of this community including food that is donated and those that are poured out. Sprinkle the new altar with the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But I alone shall see what I shall do with the old one that was made from bronze.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then King Ahaz gave an order like this to Uriah the priest, "On the great new altar offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, the burnt offering and grain offering for all who live in the land, as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings. Sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice and the burnt offering on the altar. As for the bronze altar, however, I will use it to get to know the desires of God.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then he commanded Uria the priest, ‘Use the new altar to offer burnt offerings every morning and gift offerings every evening. Use this also for offering burnt offerings and gift offerings which the king and the people are-offering, and including also for their drink offerings. [You (sing.)] sprinkle upon the new altar the blood of the burnt offering and still the other offerings. But the bronze altar I will-make my place-of-prayer.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: ‘Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
