complete verse (Ezekiel 33:31)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 33:31:

  • Kupsabiny: “My people may well come to where you are to listen to your words as always, but they do not act on those words. They only oil the mouths that they have taken those words to heart but they continue with their deeds of greed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore my people are coming-near to you and as-if they are very sincere in listening to you, but the truth is they do- not -obey what you say. They are just good in saying that they love me, but what is inside of their heart is extortion/[gaining-money-by-cheating].” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “My people come to you as they often have done, and they sit in front of you to listen to what you say. But they do not do what you tell them that they must do. With their mouths they say that they love me, but in their inner beings they are eager to acquire things by doing what is unjust.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
