Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 34:18:
- Kupsabiny: “Hey, is the good grass not enough for you (plur.)? So why are you trampling down the grass that you do not eat? You drink clean water and muddy what you do not drink to become dirty.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Some of you were not satisfied to graze the good grazing-field; you even trampled the other grazing-field/pasture-land. You were not satisfied to drink the clear water; you even muddied the other water.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “It is bad that some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
