complete verse (Ezekiel 23:32)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 23:32:

  • Kupsabiny: “I the God of power am saying:
    You shall drink/consume the pain/punishment of your sister
    from a cup that is long and with a large mouth.
    You will be scorned and scolded
    because those things were heavy/serious.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘Yes, I, the Lord GOD, am-saying that I will-punish you like I have-punished your female sibling. My punishment is-like a drink in a large and deep cup. And if you have already drunk this cup filled with my anger, you will-be-mocked and insulted.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink:
    It will be as though you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from;
    a big and tall cup.
    Because of your drinking what is in that cup,
    many people will scorn you and make fun of you
    because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
