complete verse (Ezekiel 33:12)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 33:12:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, Ezekiel, tell those Israelites: If a good person has sinned, that goodness will not save him. But if the sinner abandons his sin, he shall not meet with punishment. But if that good person misbehaves, he shall not remain.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘Man, tell your fellowmen that if a righteous man sins, his good works/deeds can- not -save him. And if a wicked man will-turn-away from his wicked deeds, he will- not -be-punished for what he had-done which are wicked.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Therefore, you human, say to your fellow Israelis, ‘If righteous people start to disobey me, their being righteous previously will not save them from being punished. And if wicked people turn away from their wicked behavior, they will not die because of the sins that they committed previously. And if righteous people start to sin, they will not be allowed to remain alive because of their formerly being righteous.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
