complete verse (Job 11:8)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 11:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “His wisdom goes beyond the heaven/up,
    where you are unable to go.
    God knows the place of the dead,
    where/which you do not know/understand.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “It is higher than heaven, what can you do?
    It goes deeper than the grave. Do you understand that?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “This is higher than heaven and deeper than the place of the dead. It is wider than the earth and broader than the sea. So, can- your (sing.) mind -reach it?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “What there is to know about God is greater than the distance from earth to heaven;
    so there is no way that you can understand it all.
    It is greater than the distance from here to the place of the dead;
    so it is impossible for you to know it all.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
