Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 28:16:
- Kupsabiny: “That trade caused you to concentrate on heaping up wealth, until strife/uproar overwhelmed you, something that brought you to sin. So, I chased you from my mountain, I pursued you, oh you guarding cherub, to get up from those glittering stones.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Your many businesses became the reason for your being-cruel and sinning. Therefore I drove you from my holy mountain; I caused- you -to-leave from the shining stones.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Then you became busy trading things,
and you started to act violently,
and you sinned.
So I caused you to be disgraced;
and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain,
forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
