Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 17:16:
- Kupsabiny: “On account of me being the God of power, this king/ruler shall die in Babylon. It will come/happen to him because he broke the covenant that he had made with the king of Babylon, that saved/helped him to take up the chair of rulership.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “No! For I, the Lord GOD who lives, swears that this king of Juda will- surely -die in Babilonia, for he disobeyed the covenant which he swore with the king of Babilonia who made him king.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, the King of Judah will die in Babylon, in the city where the King of Babylon appointed him to be the King of Judah. He will die because he despised the solemn agreement and refused to do what he promised to do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
