Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 7:16:

• Kupsabiny: “Destroy completely every community that your God will give you. Do not show mercy and do not worship their gods/idols because that would become a trap for you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “You are to destroy all the nations that the LORD your God gives into your hands. Do not show them any compassion. Do not do puja to their gods, for that will be a trap that will entangle you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) must kill all the people-groups whom the LORD your (plur.) God is-handing-over to you (plur.). You (plur.) do- not -pity them, and you (plur.) do- not -serve their gods, for they will-be-a-snare/trap for you (plur.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap from which you will never be able to escape.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
