Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 11:2:
- Kupsabiny: “‘Can such words be left without being answered/responded to?
When you have brought out so many words does it show that you are innocent?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “‘Are all these words to go unanswered?
Is this talker to be vindicated?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘That which you (sing.) are-talking/speaking-of should be-answered. (It) can- not -be-proven that you (sing.) are innocent just by talking-a-lot.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.
Just because you talk a lot, should that cause us to declare that you are innocent/have done nothing wrong?/that should not cause us to declare that you are innocent/have done nothing wrong.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
