Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 36:14:

- Newari: “The priests and all the leaders of the people acted treacherously, doing repulsive deeds like the leaders of all the other nations. They defiled the temple which their LORD had made holy.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Aside from him, all the leaders of the priests and the people still became very(intensifier) unfaithful to God. They followed the detestable doings/practices of the other nations and they defiled/[lit. stained] the temple of the LORD, which he had-made-holy/consecrated in Jerusalem.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
