Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Haggai 1:9:

• Kupsabiny: “Look/consider, you thought you might get much food/harvest, but you got just a little. And that which you brought home, I blew away. Why did I do that? Because you have abandoned my House to be in ruins and every one among you are busy with building his (own) house.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “You expected to reap a lot, but the harvest was very small. I sent a wind to blow away the grain you brought home. Why did this happen? The LORD Almighty says, "It is because my temple lies in ruins, but you are busy building your own beautiful homes.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The LORD Almighty still said, ‘You (plur.) are-expecting great harvest but you (plur.) harvested only a little. And when you (plur.) brought this home I ruined it. I did this because my temple is-ruined/destroyed while each of you (plur.) (are) all-busy working-on/building your (plur.) houses.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “You expected to harvest plenty of crops, but there were few crops to harvest. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil quickly. The reason that happened is that my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own beautiful houses.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
