Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 17:7:
- Kupsabiny: “There was there/then another eagle which had very big wings and many feathers. The vine pushed its roots to reach that eagle and the branches bowed wanting water” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘But there was another large eagle that arrived. Its wings were also broad and thick with feather. The roots and branches of that plant spread-all-over towards this eagle so-that it could-be-watered by the eagle even more than the water of the land that it was-planted-in.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But there was another huge eagle that had strong wings and beautiful feathers. And some of the roots of the vine grew toward that eagle, and its branches also turned toward it, hoping that the eagle would bring more water to it.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
