complete verse (Ezekiel 3:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 31:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “Look at the matters that came to Assyria. It was like a cedar of Lebanon that has beautiful branches that give shade. It was (so) tall that it looks down on all the other trees in the forest.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Ah, I will-compare you indeed to Asiria, the nation who is like a cedar tree in Lebanon. This tree has beautiful branches that shade the trees and towers-above the other thick trees.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You think that your country is as great as Assyria was:
    Assyria was previously like a tall cedar tree in Lebanon;
    it was as though it had big beautiful branches
    that provided shade for other trees in the forest.
    It was very tall;
    its top was above the leaves of the other trees.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
