Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Esther 4:16:

• Kupsabiny: “‘Go and collect all the Jews who are in Susa and tell every person not to eat any food or drink anything even a little in three days for my sake. I will also do the same together with the girls who work for me. Then, even though it is not acceptable in the law of this country for a person to go to the home of the king, I this girl will tie the stomach/dare and go to talk to the king. Even if it is death, let me die.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Go to Susa and gather together all the Jews to observe a fast for me. Do not eat any food or drink any water for three days and three nights. My maid servants and I will also fast like you do. Then, even though it is contrary to the law, I will go to the king. Doing this, even if I must die, I will die. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “[You (sing.)] go, and gather all the Jews here in Susa and you (plur.) fast for me. [You (plur.)] do- not -eat or drink night-(and)day, for a period/[lit. inside] of three days. I and my female servants will- also -fast. Afterwards I will-go to the king even though it is against the law. It-does-not-matter if I will-be-killed.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Eastern Bru: “You gather all the Jews in Susa. All of you fast and pray to God to help me. Don’t eat and don’t drink anything for three days and nights. I and all of my slaves will do the same as you. After that I will go in to meet the king, whether or not I break the law. If I must die because of that action, I agree.” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• English: “‘Gather together all the Jews here in Susa, and tell them to fast/abstain from food for my sake. Tell them to not eat or drink anything for three days and nights. My maids and I will also fast. Then, I will go to talk to the king. Even if I am executed/they execute me for disobeying the law by seeing him when he does not hold out the scepter/staff toward me, I am willing for that to happen’.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
