complete verse (Ezekiel 34:8)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 34:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “As/Since I am the God of power, listen to the words I am saying. Animals ate my sheep because there was no shepherd who tried to go around looking for them. They were busy/concentrating on taking care of themselves and they forgot my sheep.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I, the Lord GOD who lives, swears that I will-punish you because you did not watch my sheep, therefore they were-attacked and devoured by the fierce animals. You did- not -look for them but only yourselves you took-care-of.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “As surely as I am alive, my people are like a flock of sheep that has no shepherd, and as a result it is as though wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
