Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Zechariah 9:8:

- Newari: “From now on I will protect my temple
from invading armies.
Never again will any oppressor attack my people,
because I myself am taking care of them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The LORD will-protect his temple against the invaders. No one will-oppress his people, for now he is-watching them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

and I will not allow any enemy soldiers to enter it.
No enemies will harm my people again,
because I will be watching over my people carefully.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
