Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 14:12:
- Kupsabiny: “people die so that they never get up.
They stay like that until the end/death of heaven/up has arrived.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Just like that a mortal man will also lie down,
and never wake up, till the skies disappear.
Men will neither wake up nor get up from their sleep again.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “a man dies, and he no-longer can-rise-up or can-wake-up from his sleep while there is still heavens.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “people lie down and die and do not get up again.
Until the heavens disappear,
people who die do not wake up,
and no one can wake them up.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
