Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 22:8:

• Kupsabiny: “When you build a house, build a wall around the side of the roof of the house. Do not let a person fall down from there and then you are to blame when/if he dies.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “When a new house is being built, set up a wall all around the roof terrace, then, after that, if any person falls down, the guilt for that person’s death will not fall upon your house.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “‘When you (plur.) build a house, you (plur.) must make/[literally, place/put] rail around your (plur.) flat roof, so-that you (plur.) are not accountable if someone falls from your (plur.) roof and dies.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “‘If you build a new house, you must put a railing/low wall around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof and dies, you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death will not be your fault.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
