Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jonah 4:10:

• Kupsabiny: “(Then) God told Jonah that, ‘You felt sorry for/had mercy on that tree/plant, because your shade was destroyed. And even though it is not you, you who have used your strength for that tree/plant to grow from there. That tree/plant grew one night, and dried up the next/other night.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The LORD said — "Seeing the pumpkin plant which, without your doing anything, without your planting it, blossomed in a night [and] died in a night, your heart was broken.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The LORD said, ‘You (sing.) indeed have/had-compassion-upon that plant which grew-up for just one night and then died also for just one night, even-though you (sing.) (were) not the one (who) planted or caused- that-(plant) -to-grow.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Then God said, ‘That plant grew in one night and it died in one night. You (sing.) are sad (lit. your thoughts hurt) and you (sing.) had emphatically no hardship over that plant and it was not you (sing.) who caused-it-to-grow.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• English: “But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have been concerned about my causing that vine to wither, even though you did not take care of it, and you did not make it grow. It just grew up during one night, and it completely withered at the end of the next night.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
