Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 33:17:
- Kupsabiny: “so they can remove themselves from where sin is,
and throw their boasting far away.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “to stop a man from evil work he is doing
and to keep him far from arrogance,” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “He does this so-that man would-stop sinning and boasting,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “God could certainly not govern the world if he hated doing what is fair/just.
So, will you condemn God, who is righteous and powerful, saying that what he has done is wrong?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
