Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 6:8:
- Kupsabiny: “And again I give authority for what you must do to/for these elders of the Jews in/for the construction/building of this house of God. What should be paid to these people for the work are to come from where the upkeep of rulership is kept (the money/government funds) that are collected from the West across river Euphrates so that (the) work does not stop.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “I command you, help them in that work! Pay [lit.: give] their expenditures immediately from the tax collected from the West Euphrates province, the work must not be stopped. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘I am also commanding that you (plur.) help-out the leaders/[lit. heads] of the Jews by paying right-away all the expenses so-that the work will- not -be-delayed. You (plur.) will-take the payment from the money of the kingdom which came from the taxes in your (plur.) province.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘Furthermore, I declare that you must help these leaders of the Jews as they rebuild this temple of God by giving them funds for the building work.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
