Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 1:28:
- Kupsabiny: “(He) had an appearance like a rainbow. That is the light that shows that God was present.
When I saw this light, I fell down, (and) then I heard a voice that was speaking.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The brightness around him was like a rainbow in the time of rain.
Like that is the powerful presence of the LORD. When I saw it I knelt-down and I heard a voice speaking to me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “Itshone like a rainbow shines in the clouds on a rainy day.
That was the brilliant light that represented the presence of Yahweh. When I saw it, I prostrated myself on the ground, and I heard him speak.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
