Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 20:11:

• Newari: “Abraham said — ‘In my mind [I thought] the ones who live here do not honor God. And to take my wife [they] will kill me. So thinking I did like this.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Abraham replied, ‘I thought there was not even one here who respects God, therefore I thought that maybe you (pl.) will-kill me so-that you (pl.) could-take my wife.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Abraham replied, ‘I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.'” (Source: Translation for Translators)
