complete verse (Ezekiel 18:19)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 18:19:

  • Kupsabiny: “But you (plur.) might ask, ‘Why is the son not punished for the evil of the father?’ He is not punished because the son did deeds/words of justice and good (deeds). He kept my laws and followed (them). So, nothing bad happens to him.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘But you (plur.) might ask, ‘Why should a child not be-punished because of the sin of his father?’ If a child does righteously and right, and he follows carefully my regulations/statutes, he will-continue to live.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If you ask, ‘Why should the man’s son not suffer/be punished for the evil things that his father did?’, I will answer that the son has done what is fair and right and has obeyed all my laws, so he will surely remain alive.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
