Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 19:20:

• Kankanaey: “So if it is possible, how-about-if that small town is where- we (excl.) ought to -go, because it is not too far-away. Please permit that that’s where- we (excl.) -will-go so-that nothing will happen to us (excl.). Because it-can-be-seen that it is a small town of-course.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Newari: “There is a city nearby here. That city is small. There it would be possible for me and my family to be saved. Please send me there.'” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Look-at that small town ahead? Probably I can-reach that for it is just near. Can- I -flee to that small town so-that I can-be-saved?'” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.'” (Source: Translation for Translators)
