Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 39:11:

• Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
  “You rebuke and punish people because of their sin;
  You destroy their wealth like moths;
  every person is like air.
  Selah” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation)
• Newari:
  “You rebuke people for the sins they commit,
  and [You] will punish them.
  Like an insect eats, [You] will destroy their property.
  As for people, they turn out to be only a single breath.
  Sela” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon:
  “You (sing.) discipline a person/man by rebuking him, for his sins.
  And like a small-insect that nibbles, you (sing.) consume his valuable properties.
  (It is) really true that the life of man (is) like wind that passes by.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Eastern Bru:
  “You punish sinners by means of rebuke. Then you destroy all the things they hold dear, it’s like termites destroying. Surely, all people are only like a breath we breathe, they don’t live long.” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• Laarim:
  “You rebuked people, and you instructed them because of their sins,
  you destroyed their wealth like moths,
  a person is just a breath.” (Source: Laarim Back Translation)
• Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
  “Wakati unamwadhibu mtu na kumkemea kwa mabaya yake,
  unaharibu ambavyo anavipenda, kama vile kiwavi.
  Uhai wa mtu uko kama vile pumzi tu.” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation)
• English:
  “When you rebuke someone and punish him for the sin that he has committed,
  you destroy the things that he loves/are precious to him, like moths’ larva destroy clothing.
  Our lives disappear like a puff of wind.
  (Think about that!)” (Source: Translation for Translators)
