Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 13:26:
- Kupsabiny: “Then I said to them, ‘Are these not the things that led king Solomon of Israel until he fell into sin? There was no other king of any other nation/province who could be compared to him. God loved him and gave him to rule the whole of Israel. Though it was like that, he was led by his women from foreign nations till he turned away from God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Then I said to them, ‘Is-it not that this is the reason of the sinning of King Solomon of Israel? There is no king in any nation that like him. He is loved by his God, and God made him king in the entire Israel. But on the other he sinned because he was-enticed by his non/not Israelinhon wives.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I said to them, ‘Solomon, the king of Israel, sinned as a result of marrying foreign women. He was greater than any of the kings of other nations. God loved him, and caused him to become the king of all the Israeli people, but his foreign wives caused even him to sin.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
