Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 40:9:

• Kupsabiny: “Then Gedaliah son of Ahikam who was son of Shaphan swore to those men. He said, ‘Do not be afraid when/if the Babylonians rule over you. Stay/live in this land and accept to be ruled over so that you can get peace.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Gedalia assured/[lit. swore] to them and their men, ‘Do not be afraid being under-the-jurisdiction of those from-Babilonia. You (plur.) just stay in this land and serve the king of Babilonia, and everything will go well with you.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Gedaliah solemnly promised that the soldiers from Babylonia would not harm them. He said, ‘Do not be afraid to do things for them. Stay here in this land and do things for the King of Babylon. If you do that, things will go well for you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
