Bible Question:
Ezekiel 28 (specifically Ezekiel 28:9,16-19) - use of grammatical tenses in comparison of King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV), and Young's Literal Translation (YLT) Greetings, While doing some recent research (using site: http://bible.gospelcom.net), I compared Ezekiel 28 as translated in the King James Version (KJV) with the New International Version (NIV) and Young's Literal Translation (YLT). I noticed that specifically in verses 16-19 (of Ezekiel 28), the use of grammatical tenses (i.e., past, present, future) differs from translation to translation. While the KJV relates the consequential punishment of Satan to the future (as prophecy), the NIV relates the fall of Satan and his punishment to the past. The YLT makes use of present tense to actively portray Satan's fall and his consequential punishment. Several questions came to my mind. I would like to ask my two major ones first: * Which translation comes closest to the original document? * Reading each translation separately, one can draw different prophetical conclusions on the use of grammatical tenses. In what ways shall Ezekiel’s prophecy be understood? Hopefully someone can help me with this issue. All the Best, David |
Bible Answer: Ezekiel 28:9, 16-19 The NET Bible 28:9 Will you still say, “I am a god,” before the one who kills you — though you are a man and not a god — when you are in the power of those who wound you? 28:16 “‘In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned; so I defiled you and banished you from the mountain of God, the guardian cherub expelled you from the midst of the stones of fire. 28:17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you perverted your wisdom on account of your splendor. I threw you down to the ground; I placed you before kings, that they might see you. 28:18 By the multitude of your iniquities, through the sinfulness of your trade, you desecrated your sanctuaries. So I brought out fire from within you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth before the eyes of all who saw you. 28:19 All who know you among the peoples are shocked at you; you have become terrified and will be no more.’” ____________________ The NET Bible (www.bible.org/) |
