Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 12:24:
- Kupsabiny: “The people who headed the Levite families were: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua son of Kadmiel together with their other relatives, who would stand facing each other with them when they sung and gave praise to God. They did like that following the way David the man of God had told them.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “These are the leaders/[lit. heads] of the families of the Levites: Hashabia, Sherebia and Jeshua the child of Kadmiel, and the rest of their companions who stand opposite them during the singing of praises and thanksgiving to God in the temple. They answer the song of the opposite group, according to the command of David the servant of God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “These are the leaders of the clans who are descendants of Levi: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel and others who were divided into two groups. The two groups faced each other, one group replying to the other, during the time that they praised and thanked God. They did that just as King David, the man who served God well, had instructed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
