Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 5:6:
- Kupsabiny: “This is the letter which Tattenai and Shethar-bozenai and their friends wrote to king Darius.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “This is the letter that Tattenai, the Governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and the administrators of West Euphrates sent to King Darius.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But God watched-over the leaders/[lit. heads] of the Jews, so Tatenai, Shetar Bozenai, and their companions who were officials of the province in the west of Eufrates decided that they just would- not -stop the building of the temple until they could-hear-news from King Darius about this and could-receive his reply.
This is the letter that they sent to King Darius:
‘Beloved King Darius,
‘May your (sing.) situation be good.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “So Tattenai and Shethar-Bozenai and their officials sent a report to King Darius.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
