Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 34:16:
- Kupsabiny: “I shall go around searching for the lost ones and bring back the lonely/isolated ones. I shall treat the broken ones and comfort the weak but I shall destroy those who think they are strong and those with power because I am a shepherd who does what is right.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I will-look for those who were-lost and gone-astray. I will-bind-up the ones who have wounds and will-strengthen the ones who are weak. But I will-destroy the ones who-are-fat and strong. I will-do to them what is just.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward the people who are like my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
