Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Malachi 3:14:

• Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) said, ‘(It is) useless to serve God. What do we (excl.) gain/[lit. get] if we (excl.) follow his what-are-to-be-obeyed by us (excl.)? And what do we (incl.) gain/[lit. get] if we (incl.) roam-around/[lit. walk-walk] mourning to show the LORD Almighty that we (incl.) are-repenting of our (incl.) sins?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
