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

• Kupsabiny: “Then, I prayed to God this way, ‘Oh our God, may you hear our requests, when we have been mocked that way. Let their mockery/curse turn back to themselves and you make them be captured and be taken to become slaves in a foreign country!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then I prayed, ‘O our (excl.) God, listen to us (excl.) for we (excl.) are-looked-down-upon/belittled/despised. Wish it would happen to them their insults to us (excl.). May-it-be that they will-be-taken-captive to other places.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “So it was that I prayed saying, ‘Our (excl.) God, please hear this prayer of ours (excl.) because here-now they are mocking/belittling us (excl.). May you (sing.) return to them their mockery. May there-be someone who takes their possessions and imprisons them taking-them-far-away from their country.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• English: “Then I prayed. I said, ‘Our God, hear us, because they are ridiculing us! Cause the words of their insults to fall back on them! Allow their enemies to come and capture them and force them to go to a foreign land!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
