Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 3:23:
- Kupsabiny: “A person whose path is covered/blocked should not continue to live,
this is a person that God has stopped/prevented/blocked.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “A man’s way has been hidden,
and God has hedged him in on all sides.
Why is life given to him?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Why allow a man to live wherein he does not know his destination? God has-willed that he will- not -know his future.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Those who do not know where they are eventually going when they die ,
people whom God has forced to continue to live in misery,
it is not right that they continue to live./why do they continue to live?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
