Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 8:2:

• Kupsabiny: “Think about how the Lord your God led you along when you crossed through the wilderness for those forty years, while humbling you and testing you so that he could know what you are thinking in your stomachs. He wanted to find out if you will follow his laws or not.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Remember how the LORD your God led you these forty years on the way through the wilderness to humble and test your hearts in order to learn whether or not you would obey His commands.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] remember how the LORD your (plur.) God led/guided you (plur.) in your (plur.) journey in the desert for a period/(lit. inside) of 40 years. He did this to humble you (plur.) and to test you (plur.) in-order to know what was really inside your (plur.) heart, whether you (plur.) would obey his commands or not.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He caused you to have many problems/difficulties, because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do , whether you would obey his commandments or not.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
