Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 4:13:

• Kupsabiny: “And again you should know oh, king that, if this city is built and its walls are finished/completed, taxes may not be paid and it will be bad for you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Great King, if the city is rebuilt, and if the work of building the wall is finished, the people will not pay taxes, income taxes and tribute then money in the Great King’s treasury will decrease.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Beloved King, if this city will-be-built-up again and its stone-walls are-repaired, it residents will-rebel and they will- no-longer -pay the taxes and some other payments. So the income of the kingdom will-become-less.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “‘It is important for you to know that if they rebuild the city and finish building the walls, they will stop paying any kind of taxes. As a result, there will be less money in your treasury.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
