complete verse (Ezekiel 13:18)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 13:18:

  • Kupsabiny: “Tell (them), ‘The God of power is saying: Cursed are women who sew charms for protection. to be tied on the hands/arms. They are also cursed because they sew for other people things that are used to cover the heads and pull people to go to where they are. You want to rule over the lives of my people so that you will do well/live/stay alive?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Tell them that I, the Lord GOD, am saying: To-be-pitied you (plur.) women who are-victimizing/ensnaring my people, either young or old, through charms. You put a headband on their arms and veil on their heads as charms. You like to victimize the life of my people for your own good/benefits.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. You think that you will deceive othersby telling them that you know what will happen in the future, and that you will save your own lives.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
