Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 11:4:
- Kupsabiny: “Many people including some priests, Levites, people who worked in the House of God and the grandchildren of the servants of Solomon lived in their own homes in the villages of Judah and Benjamin. But some of those people lived in Jerusalem. The names of the leaders who originated from the clan of Judah and settled in Jerusalem are: Athaiah son of Uzziah, who was the son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, who belonged to the family of Perez,” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The rest of the Israelinhon, as-well-as the priests, Levites, servants of the temple, and the descendants of the servants of Solomon, continued to live in their own land in various towns of Juda. The rest of the people-groups of Juda and Benjamin lived in Jerusalem.
These are the leaders/[lit. heads] of the provinces of Juda and Benjamin who lived in Jerusalem.
From the tribe of Juda:
Ataya the child of Uzia. (Uzia was the child of Zacarias; Zacarias was the child of Amarias; Amaria was the child of Shefatia; and Shefatia was the child of Mahalalel that came from a descendant of Perez.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “But some people from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin decided to live in Jerusalem. One of them from the tribe of Judah was Athaiah. He was the son of Uzziah, who was the son of Zechariah, who was the son of Amariah, who was the son of Shephatiah, who was the son of Mahalalel, who was a descendant of Judah’s son Perez.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
