Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 22:13:
- Kupsabiny: “Why are you asking what God knows?
You say that clouds block the view so he is unable to make a judgment/accusation.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “But you say, "What does God know?
Is He able to make judgments in this kind of darkness?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “That is why you (sing.) are-saying, ‘God does- not -know what I am-doing. He is-covered with (a) thick-cloud, how can- he -judge?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So why do you say, ‘What does God know about what we are doing?
He is hidden from us by dark clouds, so how can he judge us?/he certainly cannot judge us. ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
