Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 28:23:
- Kupsabiny: “I shall send sickness to your people and (they) will kill people until the blood flows in the streets. Your people will be killed/speared from all sides. That is when you shall know that I am the God of power.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I will-send you a plague, and because of this the blood will-flow there in your streets. You will-be-attacked around, very many of your residents will-die. Then they will-know that I am the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will send a plague upon you,
and I will send enemies to come and kill you in your streets.
They will attack you from every direction,
and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city.
Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
