Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 21:21:

  • Kupsabiny: “The king of Babylon will stop there by that thing that shows the road. In order to know which road leads to where he will shake arrows and throw them to the ground and ask his ancestral spirits and then he will beat the stomach of a goat that has been sacrificed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “For the king of Babilonia will-stand on where- the two roads -have-crossed and he will-know which road he will-pass-by by casting-lots arrow(s), to-ask from little-gods, and to look carefully at the liver of an animal which had-been-offered.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When the army of Babylonia comes to where the road divides, they will stop, and the king will perform magic rituals to decide which road to go on. He will throw arrows; then consult his idolsabout which road to go on, and he will examine/look at the liverof a sheep.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
