complete verse (Ezekiel 3:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 3:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “And/but when a good person gets up and sins which can cause me to punish him, he shall die if you do not tell (him) that he must not do those things. His own sins will kill that person but/and I will not count/consider even one good thing which that person has done. Then, I shall take it that you are the one who caused him to die.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If a righteous man will-turn-away from a righteous life and I will- just -let him do that, he will-die. If you (sing.) have- not -warned him, he will-die because of his sin, and I will- not -remember his good deeds. But I will-ask- you (sing.) -for-payment of his death.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen to them. But you must warn them. If you do not warn them, and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they didpreviously, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
