Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nahum 3:8:

• Kupsabiny: “Listen, Nineveh, do you think you are better than the city of Thebes? Rivers even surrounded it like a wall. It protected itself with the river Nile.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “O Nineveh, are you better than the city of Thebes
  situated on the banks of the Nile?
  There is water all around it.
  its fortress is the river and its wall is water.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “(Is) Nineve better/[lit. above] than the city of Tebes which (is) near the Nile River? This river protects Tebes like the stone-walls surround it.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Your city is certainly no safer than Thebes city was.
  Thebes was an important city beside the Nile River;
  the river was like a wall that protected the city.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
