Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 10:29:
- Kupsabiny: “All those people joined/united with their leaders to observe that agreement with one stomach/wholeheartedly. Those people made an oath that the curse of God be upon them if they refused to observe the laws of God which were given by his servant Moses. All those people responded saying that they would seriously observe the decrees and the whole law of the Lord their God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

We (excl.) also swear that we (excl.) will-accept the curse of God if we (excl.) can- not -fulfill our (excl.) promise that we (excl.) will-follow all the commands and statutes of the LORD our (excl.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
