complete verse (Job 7:21)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 7:21:

  • Kupsabiny: “Don’t you want to forgive me for my disobedience?
    Have you said that you will not sweep away my sin?
    Yet I am close to dying and being buried,
    then you will search for me, but in vain!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Why did you not pardon my transgressions
    and forgive my sins?
    Soon, now, I will reach the grave.
    When you search for me I will not exist.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If I in-fact did sin, why don’t you (sing.) just forgive me? Soon I will-die, and even if you (sing.) will-look for me, you (sing.) will- no-longer -find me.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
