Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 21:7:

• Kupsabiny: “And if they ask you, ‘What are you groaning for?’ tell them, ‘There are things that are coming. People will fear and hands sink, hope will be lost and knees paralyzed.’ The day has arrived and these things shall come to pass! It is the God of power who has spoken.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “If they ask why you are-groaning, tell them because of the news which can-cause-trembling, can-cause-weakening, can-cause-to-become-afraid and can-cause- them -to-faint. These things will- surely -happen in not a-long-time. I, the Lord GOD, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful , and their knees will become as weak as water. A great disaster will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
