Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 18:2:
- Kupsabiny: “What does this proverb mean that the people of Israel are always saying, ‘The parents ate sour grapes and the teeth of the children became cold/painful’?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘Why do you (plur.) say this proverb in Israel: ‘The parents ate sour grapes, and the sourness of it will-be-tasted as-well-as of their children?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘You people quote this proverb and say that it is about Israel:
‘Parents/People eat sour grapes,
but it is their children who have a very sour taste in their mouths’,
which means that you think that it is not fair for you to be punished for your ancestors’ sins.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
