Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 43:5:
- Kankanaey: “If you (sing.) refuse however, it’s-a-sure-thing that we (excl.) will not go, because the ruler said of-course that it was not possible that we (excl.) see him again if our (excl.) younger-sibling was-not-there.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Newari: “otherwise [we] will not go. For the head sent us off saying ‘Do not come to my place without bringing your younger brother.'” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But if not, we (excl.) will- not -go-back there, for the governor in-fact said that we (excl.) should- not -show-ourselves (excl.) to him if our sibling/(brother) is not with us (excl.).'” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But if you will not send him, we will not go down there, because that man said to us, ‘I will not let you see me again if your younger brother is not with you.”” (Source: Translation for Translators)
