complete verse (Job 1:21)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 1:21:

  • Kupsabiny: β€œand said, β€˜I came from the stomach of my mother naked and I shall not leave this world with anything. It is God who gave to me and he is the one who took (it). Let his name be exalted.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: β€œand said,
    "Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
    and naked I will go.
    The Almighty LORD has given and has taken away.
    May the name of the Almighty LORD be great."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: β€œHe said, β€˜I was born nothing carrying and I will- also -die nothing carrying. The LORD (is) the-(one-who) gave everything that is with me, and he (is) also the(-one-who) took it. Praise be the name of the LORD!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: β€œHe said,
    β€˜When I was born, I had no clothes on.
    When I die, I will not take any clothes with me.
    Yahweh gave me everything that I possessed,
    and now he has taken it all away.
    But we should/I will always praise Yahweh anyway! ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
