Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 3:20:
- Kupsabiny: “Why do people still live in suffering
and why does a person in pain still see the light?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Why does God give light to weary
and life to heart downed? ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘Why still allow people to live who suffer and their feelings are-hurting?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘Why does God allow those who are suffering greatly like me to continue to remain alive?/I do not understand why God allows those who are suffering greatly like me to continue to remain alive.
Why does he allow those who are very miserable/distressed to keep living ?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
