Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 7:23:

  • Kupsabiny: “Let everything that God of heaven has said be done in strength/power, for the House of God. For why should (someone) be angry towards the rulership of the king and his sons?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Be careful to give everything which the God of Heaven requires for the temple. Otherwise, I and my sons will incur God’s anger.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) surely give/provide all the needs in the temple according to what- God of heaven -has-commanded. For if not, he will-get-angry at my kingdom and to my children.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Be sure that you provide whatever their God requires for his temple, because we certainly do not want him to be angry with me or with my descendants who will later be kings.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
