Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 5:7:
- Kupsabiny: “So, Jerusalem, I the God of power is saying: You have abandoned my will and my laws more that all the other communities that surround you. You did not honor me or follow the words I am saying. How your neighboring countries stay/live is better than what you do.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Therefore I, the Lord GOD, says: You (plur.) who come-from-Jerusalem, you are more wicked than the other nations in surrounding you. You did not obey my commands and statutes, and you did not even obey the statutes of the nations around you.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around you!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
