complete verse (Ezekiel 18:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 18:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “The person who does sin is the one who deserves to die. The sins of the father does not have a hold on the son and/or the sin of the son does not have a hold on the father. A righteous person is blessed for his righteousness and the sinner is condemned for his sin.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The man who only sins is-the-one who will-die. A child should not be-punished because of the sin of his father, and a father should not be-punished because of the sin of his child. A righteous man will-be-paid-back by his righteous doings, and a wicked man will-be-punished of his wicked doings.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “It is those who sin who will diebecause of their sins. People will not be punished for the sins of their parents, or for the sins of their children. Good/Righteous people will be rewarded for their being good/righteous, and evil people will be punished for theirdoing evil.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
