Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 8:10:

• Kupsabiny: “Nehemiah continued to say to the people, ‘Go and select food and sweet things that you like and then you eat, and give some also to the people who have not prepared anything. This day is holy before the Lord our God. Do not be grieved/dejected, when you rejoice in/over God, you are strong!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Nehemias still said, ‘[You (plur.)] celebrate and eat good/yummy food and drink good drinks. [You (plur.)] give to those who have no food, for this day is holy to the Lord. And you (plur.) do- not -grieve, for the joy that the LORD gives can-strengthen you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Nehemias said, ‘Go-home so-that you will be-happy to eat and drink and give-to the one who has nothing prepared. This day is holy for God, so do not mourn, because your happiness in your worshipping of God will be the means/cause- of your minds -becoming-strong.’” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• English: “Then I said to them, ‘Now go home and enjoy some good food and drink some sweet wine. And send some of it to people who do not have anything to eat or drink. This is a day that Yahweh considers sacred. Do not be sad! Yahweh will cause you to be joyful and make you strong.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
