Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 38:12:
- Kupsabiny: “You (plur.) will plunder the people who live in those cities that are demolished. These people are the ones who were brought back from where they had been scattered to and became wealthy having animals and other things and live in a beautiful land.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I will-plunder/[lit. take-by-force] the properties of those towns who were-desolate/lonely before, which now are full already with people who have-returned from the nations. They have many animals and properties, and they consider their nation as the most-important nation on the earth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So it will be easy for us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries where they had lived for many years, people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, that they think is the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away all their valuable possessions.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
