complete verse (Ezra 10:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 10:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “And then, Ezra left the front of the House of God and went to a room in the house of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. When he was there, he stayed/sat without eating any food and did not drink water because (he) continued to mourn for the people who had returned from slavery and had refused to honor God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “After that Ezra went from the front of the temple of God to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he was there, Ezra neither ate anything nor drank water because his heart mourned because of the guilt of those who had come back from Babylon.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then Ezra left the front of the temple of God and went to the room of Jehohanan the child of Eliashib. And when he was there, he did not eat and drink, for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness of the Israelinhon who returned from captivity.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then I went away from the front of the temple and went to the room where Jehohanan lived. I stayed there that night, but I did not eat or drink anything. I was still sad because some of the Israelis who had returned from Babylonia had not faithfully obeyed God’s laws.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
