Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 5:18:

• Kupsabiny: “If/When there was to be eating in one day, it would require one ox, six fat sheep together with several hens. Then when ten days had passed, a lot of wine of different brands were required/needed. Though it was like that, I did not want anything to come from the people because they had many hardships.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Everyday I cause-to-slaughter one cow, six fat sheep, and many chicken. And every ten days I take-out much wine with different kinds. Even these are my expenses I never accepted food which is for the governor, because I know that the people were already being-burdened.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Each day I told my servants to serve us the meat from one ox, six very good sheep, and chickens. And every ten days I gave them a large new supply of wine. But I knew that the people were burdened by paying lots of taxes, so I did not accept the money that I was entitled/allowed to receive to buy all this food because of my being the governor.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
