complete verse (Ezekiel 17:24)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 17:24:

  • Kupsabiny: “The other trees shall know that I am God who pulls down tall trees and makes the short ones to become tall. I make the green ones dry up and make the dry ones become green. I God am speaking and I shall do it like that.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And all the trees in the land will-know that it is I the LORD who is-cutting-down the tall trees and causing-to-become-tall the short trees. It is also I who is-causing-to-dry-up the green/healthy trees and causing-to-become-alive the withered trees. I, the LORD, the one-(who)-promised this, and I will- surely -fulfill it.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “And it will be as though all the trees in the field will know that I, Yahweh, get rid of tall trees and make little ones grow. I cause big green trees to wither, and I cause dry trees to become green.
    I, Yahweh have said this, and I will certainly do what I have said that I will do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
