complete verse (Ezekiel 4:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 4:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then I said, ‘Oh no, God of power, but I have never defiled myself. I have not eaten anything unclean from when I was a child until now like: something that has died, something an animal has killed or any food that is not clean.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But I said, ‘O Lord GOD, I have never ever let- myself -get-dirty/become-unclean since my childhood until now. I never ever have-eaten an animal that just died or was-killed by another animal. I have not eaten an animal that is-being-considered unclean.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then I said, ‘No, Yahweh God!Do not force me to do that! I have never caused myself to become unacceptable to you by doing anything like that. From the time when I was young, I have never eaten meat of any animal that was found dead or that had been killed by wild animals. And I have never eaten any meat that is unacceptable to you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
