Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 5:8:

• Kupsabiny: “While in the meeting, I said to them, ‘Some of us are trying in every way possible to pay out something in order to bring back/release our fellow Jews who have sold themselves to foreigners who do not know God, and (yet) you are making them to become slaves again? Until when shall we be bringing back/redeeming these people?’ Those people could not say anything to defend themselves.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “I said, ‘We (excl.) are- really -trying in our (excl.) ability to redeem our (excl.) fellow Jews who sold themselves as slave to the non-Jews. But now, because of what you (plur.) are-doing, they are force again to sell themselves. Do we (incl.) always redeem them?’ They just keep-silent for they had nothing to reason-out.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “and I said to their leaders, ‘Some of our Jewish relatives have been forced to sell themselves to become slaves of people who have come from other countries. As much as we have been able to, we have been buying them back out of slavery. But now you are forcing your own relatives to sell themselves to you, their fellow Jews, as slaves!’ When I said that to them, they were silent. There was nothing that they could say because they knew that what I said was true.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
