Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 39:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then the people who live in a city in Israel shall go and pick up the shields, both small and big ones, bows, spears, arrows and clubs of war. And then they shall come and burn (them) to become their firewood for seven years.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘When that time will-come now, the people of Israel who live in the towns will-gather your weapons — large and small shields, bows-and-arrows, something-to-hit, and spears — and they will-use them as firewood for a period/[lit. inside] of seven years.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons from your dead soldiers, and use them to make fires to cook their food. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
