Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 18:24:
- Kupsabiny: “But if a righteous person turns around to do sins and joins what the people who sin are doing, he should not stay alive. Not even one of the good things he has done will be remembered. His sin and his immorality shall kill him.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘But if a righteous man will-leave his righteous life and will-sin, and will-do detestable things which are being-done by the wicked-ones, will he continue to live? Of-course not! His righteous actions will- now -be-forgotten. And because of his betrayal of me and of the sins which he did, he will-die.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But if a righteous person stops doing righteous things and starts to commit sins and does the same detestable things that wicked people do, he will certainly not be allowed to remain alive. I will not think about the righteous things that he did previously. Because he did not faithfullydo what pleases me, and because of all the sins that he has committed, he will be executed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
