Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 9:3:

• Kupsabiny: “As soon as I heard these words, I got very annoyed/angry until I tore my clothes and coat and pulled my hair and beard. And thereafter, I sat down in shock.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “As soon as I heard this matter, I tore my shirt and my shawl, I pulled out the hair on my head. And I sat down in great shock.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When I heard this, I tore my clothes in sadness; pulled-out my hair and beard, and I sat-down appalled.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When I heard that, I became very angry, with the result that I tore my clothes and tore some hair from my head and from my beard. Then I sat down, very shocked/dismayed. The Israelis knew that God had warned us that he would punish us if we disobeyed what he had said to us about marrying women who are not Israelis.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
