Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 9:5:

• Kupsabiny: “You are not going to take over the land of those people because you are righteous and your thoughts are straight. Your God will chase away those people in front of you because they are sinners. He will do like that so that the words that he swore to himself while making a promise to your grandfathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be fulfilled.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “It is not because you are good or clean-hearted that you are about to go to conquer their land. But because of the evil deeds they have done the LORD your God will be driving them out before you to fulfill the promise He made to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) will-possess their land not because you (plur.) are-righteous or good people but-rather because they are wicked, and so-that the LORD your (plur.) God can-fulfill what he had-promised your (plur.) ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “I say again that it is not because you are righteous or because you do things that are righteous that you will enter and capture that land. It is because those people-groups are very wicked that Yahweh our God will expel them as you advance, and because he intends to do what he vowed to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
