Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 9:28:

  • Kupsabiny: “But when everything was getting on well, they returned to evil and then you abandoned them to be defeated by their enemies. But when your people cried out to you again for help, you listened to them from above. You rescued them always out of your amazing mercy.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘But when their well-being/situation is now fine/good they again do wicked-thing before/in-front-of you (sing.). Then you (sing.) leave them under-the-hand of their enemies so-that they will-be-ruled-over. And when they will- again -ask help from you (sing.), you (sing.) listen to them there in heaven. And in your (sing.) compassion you (sing.) always save/redeem them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But when their hardship/suffering stopped, they again did what was evil in your (sing.) viewpoint. Therefore you (sing.) abandoned/let- them -alone for their enemies to defeat and they ruled-over them. When they again requested your (sing.) help, you (sing.) heard in heaven and you (sing.) saved them. Always like that is what was-happening.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “‘But after there was a time of peace again, our ancestors again did things that displeased you. So again you allowed their enemies to conquer them. But whenever they cried out to you again to help them, you heard them from heaven, and because you act mercifully, you rescued them many times.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
