Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 9:18:

• Kupsabiny: “Then, I fell face down before God like it was before during forty days without eating food and drinking water. I did like that because of all the sin that those people did to God and made him angry.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Because you had caused the LORD to feel anger by doing evil work that He did not like, I, again as before, lay prostrate before the LORD for forty days and forty nights. I did not eat bread, nor did I drink water.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “‘Then I felt-down-facing-the-ground before/[lit. in front-of] the LORD for 40 a period/(lit. inside) of days and 40 nights without eating and drinking, because of all the sins you (plur.) had- done. (It is) very wicked in the sight of LORD what you (plur.) had-done and it really provoked- him -to-anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then I prostrated myself/lay on the ground in Yahweh’s presence as I had done before, and I did not eat or drink anything for 40 days and nights. I did that because your ancestors had sinned against Yahweh and caused him to become very angry.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
