Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 13:20:
- Kupsabiny: “So God is saying, ‘I hate those your charms that you use to catch/trap people with like when a bird is trapped. I will break (them) away from your arms. I will release the people you have trapped like a bird.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Therefore I, the Lord GOD, am-saying that I am very angry with your charms that you used for victimizing my people, who seemed-like birds being-trapped. I will-tear-off these charms from your arms, and I will-let-go the people who seemed-like birds that you trapped.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, sayto those women: ‘I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like people trap birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
