complete verse (Job 9:24)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 9:24:

  • Kupsabiny: “If a sinner takes over a land,
    the people of the court (judges) of that land become blind.
    And if it is not God who has done those things,
    who then is the one who did it?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, He blindfolds its judges.
    If it is not he, then who is it?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “He handed-over the earth to the wicked-ones. He covers the eyes of the judges. If he is- not the -one-doing it, so who else?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “God has allowed wicked people to control what happens in the world.
    It is as though he has caused judges to be blindfolded, with the result that they cannot judge fairly.
    If it is not God who has put wicked people in control,
    who has done it?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
