Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 5:16:

  • Kupsabiny: “I devoted myself to working on the wall and refused to take/acquire any garden/field. And again, I required all my people to work full time on the building of that wall.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Instead, I did everything so-that the stone-wall will-be-built again with the help of my men. And I never acquired/owned/possess a land.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I also continued to work on the wall, and I did not take land from people who were unable to pay back the money that they had borrowed from me. All those who worked for me joined me to work on the wall.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
