Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 29:9:
- Kupsabiny: “The land of Egypt shall be laid waste. Then they will know that I am God.
As you said that, ‘The river Nile is mine and I am the one who created it,’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Egipto will-become a desolate place. Then you will-know that I am the LORD.
‘Because you say that the Nile river is yours and you the one-who-made it,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “Egypt will become an empty desert. Then the people of Egypt will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do.’
You proudly said, ‘The Nile River is mine; I made it!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
