Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 13:15:
- Kupsabiny: “In one Sabbath day, I saw certain men who were pressing theirs grapes. They were also lifting food/grain and loading upon their donkies. Those people used to bring wine, grapes, figs and other different things for selling in Jerusalem. Then/At that time I rebuked those people because they would go and sell on the Sabbath day.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “That time, I saw those who come-from-Juda pressing grapes on the Day For-Resting. Some of them are-loading on the donkeys grains, wine, grapes, figs, and some other things in-order to bring to Jerusalem and sell. Therefore I warned them that they are not to sell their produce on the Day For-Resting.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “During that time, I saw some people in Judea who were working on the Sabbath day. Some were pressing grapes to make wine. Others were putting grain, bags of wine, baskets of grapes, figs, and many other things, on their donkeys and taking them into Jerusalem. I warned them that they should not sell things to the people of Judea on Sabbath days.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
