Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 10:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “Therefore, let’s make an agreement/covenant before the presence of our God to chase/divorce all these women and their children following your counsel and that of those who obey/respect the will of God. Let those things be done as it is stated in the law.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Since it’s like that, let us make a covenant before God to release all the women and children in accordance with your counsel and [that] of those who obey the commands of our God. Then let us work in accordance with the Law.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So now, we (excl.) will-follow your (sing.) advice and of the others who respect the commands of our (incl.) God. We (excl.) will-make an agreement with our (incl.) God that these women as-well-as their children will-be-driven-away. We (excl.) will-obey what the Law says.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “We will do what you, and the others who have an awesome respect for what our God has commanded, tell us to do. We will do what God told us in his laws. We will make an agreement with our God, saying that we will divorce our wives who are not Israelis, and we will send them away with their children.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
