Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 28:18:
- Kupsabiny: “Your sins and your business of stealing where one prays from caused you shame.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Because of your many sins and cheating in business, you defiled the places where- you -worship. Therefore before/[lit. in front of] everyone who look-at you, I burned your place and you were-burned until you became just ash on the ground.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “By committing many sins
and by trading things dishonestly,
you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me.
So I caused a fire to burn down your city.
Your city was burned completely;
the people who were watching it saw
that only ashes remained on the ground.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
