Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 5:7:
- Kupsabiny: “They wrote like this:
Let these news reach king Darius. We greet you with happiness.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “They sent a letter written like this —
"May the Great King Darius be Salutations!” (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: “This is what they wrote:
‘King Darius, we hope that things are going well for you!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
