Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 13:11:

• Kupsabiny: “I immediately turned to the leaders and asked them, ‘Why has the House of God been looked down upon/ignored?’ Then I called back all the Levites and put them back to their former work.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Therefore I rebuked the officers and told (them), ‘Why did you (plur.) neglect/abandon the temple of God?’ I then summoned the Levites and the singers and had- them -returned to their works in the temple.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “So I rebuked the officials, saying to them, ‘Why have you not taken care of the work in the temple?/It is disgraceful that you have not taken care of the work in the temple.’ So I brought the descendants of Levi and the musicians back to the temple, and told them to do their work there again.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
