Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 3:18:
- Kupsabiny: “When/If I say that a sinner shall truly die and you do not tell him these words/things or turn (him) to refuse/reject the sin so that his life can be saved, that sinner shall die. Then I shall take it that you are the one who caused (him) to die.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “If I say that a wicked man will- surely -die, but you (sing.) did- not -warn (him) to turn-away from his wicked way so-that he can-be-saved, that wicked man will-die because of his sin, and I have- you (sing.) -give-payment for his death.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely diebecause of their sins,’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to save their lives/remain alive, those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
