Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 30:21:
- Kupsabiny: “God said to me, ‘Ezekiel, I have broken the arm of Pharao that king of Egypt. No one can bandage it or fix it so that he again can hold a sword to go to war.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Man, I have-broken the arm of Faraon the king of Egipto. And no one ever drug it in-order to-be-healed again to hold a sword.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘You human, I have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of the King of Egypt. It is as though I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that after it heals the arm will be strong enough to hold a sword.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
