Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 12:14:
- Kupsabiny: “When God destroys something,
there is no one who can build it again,
or when he has tied up a person,
there is no person who is able to release/free that person.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “What He has destroyed cannot be rebuilt.
Those who have been deported, He will not set free.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “No one can repair what he destroys, and no one can-free/release whom he puts-in-prison.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “If he tears something down, no one can rebuild it;
if he puts someone in prison, no one can open the prison doors to allow that person to escape.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
