Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 2:3:
- Kupsabiny: “God said, ‘I think you know how the life of my servant Job is. You know that there is not (other) person in the world like him, don’t you? You also that he has no mistake and is righteous, don’t you? You have also realized that he respects God and he does not accept evil. He is still strong in his faith even though you have enticed me to make him poor even though he has no mistake/wrong.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then the LORD said to Satan, "What! Have you seen my servant, Job? There is no other person on earth like him, innocent, faultless, who stays away from evil work and who fears God. You have incited me to destroy him for no reason. But even up to now, Job has continued to be trustworthy.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The LORD said to him, ‘Have- you (sing.) -noticed my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. (He is) righteous and his life is-without blame. He respects me and stays-away from doing evil. And he still remained faithful to me even (when) you (sing.) enticed me to allow you (sing.) to harm him without any reason.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Yahweh asked Satan, ‘Have you noticed/thought about my faithful servant Job?
He is very godly/righteous , he greatly respects/reveres me, and he always avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to let you cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
