complete verse (Ezekiel 24:17)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 24:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do not cry for/over the dead. Tie your cloth of the head and put on shoes as always. Do not put your hands over the head while mourning and do not eat the food of people who mourn.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You will- just -groan quietly/[lit. slowly]. You do not show that you are-mourning. Do not remove your turban and sandals, and do not cover your face. You do not also eat food which the ones who-mourn for the dead eat.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Groan quietly; do not cry openly for her. Keep your turban wrapped around your head, andinstead of being barefoot, keep your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your faceto show that you are sad. And do not eat the kind of food that people who are mourning usually eat.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
