Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 17:15:

• Kupsabiny: “you must give rulership to the person whom your God has chosen. Let a person from your community rule you and not a foreigner who comes from outside.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “then be sure to make as king the man whom the LORD your God choses. Choose someone from among you as your king. You must not make as king one who is not an Israelite.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) be-sure that the king that you (plur.) will-choose is the man whom the LORD your (plur.) God chose, and (he) must be your (plur.) fellow Israelinhon. You (plur.) do not choose a not Israelinhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Yahweh our God will permit you to have a king, but be sure that you appoint someone whom he has chosen. That man must be an Israeli; you must not appoint someone who is a foreigner to be your king.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
