Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 1:21:
- Kupsabiny: βand said, βI came from the stomach of my mother naked and I shall not leave this world with anything. It is God who gave to me and he is the one who took (it). Let his name be exalted.ββ (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: βand said,
"Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will go.
The Almighty LORD has given and has taken away.
May the name of the Almighty LORD be great."β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βHe said, βI was born nothing carrying and I will- also -die nothing carrying. The LORD (is) the-(one-who) gave everything that is with me, and he (is) also the(-one-who) took it. Praise be the name of the LORD!ββ (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: βHe said,
βWhen I was born, I had no clothes on.
When I die, I will not take any clothes with me.
Yahweh gave me everything that I possessed,
and now he has taken it all away.
But we should/I will always praise Yahweh anyway! ββ (Source: Translation for Translators)
