Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 16:19:

• Kupsabiny: “A person must not distort justice. (He) must not be partial and not accept a bribe because that makes judges and leaders to become blind.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “They must not work by taking sides with anyone. They must not take [lit. eat] bribes. For if they take bribes, even wise men become blind and the promise of a good man is reversed.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They must not twist the justice and they should not show-favoritism in judging. They are- not -to-accept bribe for the bribe can-cause-to-become-blind the wise and righteous, and can-influence their decision.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly ; he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that the righteous/innocent people must be punished.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
