Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 2:8:

• Kupsabiny: “And furthermore, you also write a letter to Asaph who protects the king’s forest to inform him to give me timber. I will need that timber to make doors of the house for the guards of the House of God, the walls of the city/town and some for me to build a house for myself.’ Then the king granted me that/did for me like that, because God favored me.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “And if possible give me also a letter for Asaf, the one-who-watches your (sing.) forest, so-that he will-give me woods to use to make the gate of the strong fortress beside the temple, and to build the stone-wall of the city and the house where I will-stay/live.’ The king granted what I asked-for from him because of the goodness of God to me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “I also requested his letter to Asaf who cared-for the forest that belonged to the king so-that he would give me trees/wood to-be-made into the doors of the Temple (loan Timplo), doors of the fence of the city and the house where-I-would-stay. The king answered (lit. esteemed) these-things that I requested because God showed-mercy/kindness to me.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• English: “Also, please write a letter to Asaph, the man who takes care of your forest in that area, telling him to give me timber to make the beams to support the gates of the fortress that is near the temple, and timber for making the walls of the city, and for building the house in which I will live.’ The king did what I requested him to do, because my God was graciously/kindly helping/acting for me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
