Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 18:23:

• Hiligaynon: “I, the Lord GOD, am not pleased when a wicked man dies. I will-be-pleased if he repents and continues to live.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I certainly am not happy about wicked people dying. Instead, I am happy when they turn away from their wicked behavior, andbecause of that, they remain alive.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
