Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 5:1:

• Kupsabiny: “God said to me, ‘Ezekiel, take a sharp sword and shave your beard and your hair. Collect it all in one place and then divided it into three.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The LORD still said to me, ‘Man, you take a sharp sword and use it to shave your hair and beard. Then weigh your hair and beard to divide it into three parts.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “‘Also, you human, when you start doing those things, take a sharp sword and use it like a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the hairinto three equal parts.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
