Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 24:5:
- Kupsabiny: “So, that makes those people wander around
looking for something their children may eat,
like the donkeys in the wild are doing.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, wandering in search of fodder, the poor go roaming in search of food.
The wilderness gives their sons and daughters food to eat.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They look for their food in a desolate-place like the wild donkeys. Almost there is no other place that they can look-for food for their children.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The result is that poor people have to search for food in the desert
like wild donkeys do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
