complete verse (Ezekiel 19:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 19:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “Fire sprang forth from one branch
    to destroy its fruits
    so that no branch remained
    who could become a ruler.
    This song is a song of pain.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “One of its branches was-burned and the fire spread-out to the other branches, and also their fruits were-burned. Therefore there are no-longer strong/firm branch which is left that can-be made into a seem-like-cane of a king.’
    ‘This lament should be sung at this time.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “A fire started to burn its stem,
    and then started to burn the branches
    and burned all the grapes.
    Now not even one strong branch remains;
    they will never become scepters for a king.’
    That funeral song must be sung very sadly.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
