complete verse (Ezekiel 26:17)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 26:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then those people shall lament and grieve saying:
    Oh, you city with water around it
    who was indeed the ruler of the ocean,
    look how you have been demolished!
    You ruled the ocean
    and you made all those outside the city tremble.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then they will-lament this for you: ‘How you have-fallen, you famous city which is-the-place-of-living by people whose livelihood is-there by the sea. You are very powerful in the sea and all who lived near the sea are afraid of you.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this:
    ‘The famous city , in which many menwho sailed on the seas lived,
    is now destroyed!
    The people of that city had great power because they had many ships that sailed on the seas;
    they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
