Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 10:16:

• Kupsabiny: “All the people who returned from the slavery did like that as they were told. Ezra chose/selected leaders from the families and wrote down the names of all those people. Those people sat down on the first day in the tenth month to investigate those things.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Nevertheless the captives who had been sent back did like this — Ezra the priest selected the chief people of the various families. He selected one person from each family group. Each person was designated by name. Then from the first day of the 10th month they began the work of trying to care for this matter.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The ones-who-returned from captivity followed that plan. Therefore Ezra the priest chose men who were leaders/[lit. heads] of the families, and listed-down their name. And on the first day of the tenth month, they sat-down and they started the investigation about the marrying of the Israelinhon with the not Israelinhon women. They had-finished the investigating of all the cases on the first day of the first month, of the following year.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “All the others who had returned from Babylonia said that they would do it. So I chose leaders of each of the clans, and I wrote down their names. On December 29, these men came and sat down to investigate the matter.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
