complete verse (Ezekiel 22:12)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 22:12:

  • Kupsabiny: “And others are bought/paid to murder, others ask to be added something big on top of what they have loaned to another Israelite. These people become rich from others in a way like that and they forget about me. The one who has spoken is me the God of power.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The other accepts payment to kill a man, loan-out with so-much interest, and become-wealthy by take-money-(illegally)/extortions. They surely have-forgotten me already. I, the Lord GOD, (am) the-(one) saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. Andthe worst thing is that you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
