Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 6:6:
- Kupsabiny: “This letter was saying:
It is heard (reported that) people of all nations saying and also Geshem saying that you and the Jews are intending to reject to be ruled, and that is what has made you to build the wall. It is also said that you are preparing to become their king.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “And this is was-written: ‘Geshem told me that whenever he goes he heard that you (sing.) and the Jews plan to rebel, and that is why you (plur.) are-building-up again the stone-wall. And as what he had-heard, you (sing.) want to become king of the Jews,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “that said, ‘Gesem told me that there-is that which they are causing-to-be-reported in the surrounding/neighboring nations that it is reportedly the intention of you Judio to fight-against the one who rules-over you and that is the reason you are building the fence. They also said that it is your (sing.) intention to be-king” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- English: “This is what was written in the message:
‘Some people in the nearby countries have heard a report that you and the other Jews are rebuilding the wall in order to be able to resist attacks, because you are planning to revolt against the king of Babylon. And the report also says that you are planning to become the king of the Israelis. Geshem says that what they have reported is true.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
