Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Esther 1:18:

• Kupsabiny: “And before darkness comes today, the wives of the leaders of Persia and Media will know these things that Vashti has done and they will also begin to quarrel like that despising their husbands. Then those women/wives will have become abusive to their husbands and that will make the husbands become angry with them and (they) become fierce to (them).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “As soon as the wives of the great nobles of Media and Persia hear that the queen behaved like this, right from today they will also behave like that with their husbands. And because of this nearly all [of them] will stop respecting their husbands, and husbands will be angry with their wives.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “From now on that is what the wives of the officers of Persia and Media who heard what Queen Basti did will-do. So it will- always -happen that the wives will- not -respect/despise their husbands, and the husbands will-be-angry with their wives.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Eastern Bru: “Then on the day that all the wives of the rulers of Persia and Media hear what the queen has done, then they will answer back their husband in the same way. This thing will make it so that in every place, wives will not respect their husbands. Then husbands will become angry at their wives.” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• English: “Before this day ends, the wives of all us officials in Persia and Media will hear what the queen did, and they also will refuse to obey their husbands. They will not respect us, and they will cause us to become very angry.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
