complete verse (Job 41:3)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 41:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “Do you think it will beg you desperately to leave it alone?
    Or will it implore you having humbled itself?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Will he entreat you for mercy?
    Will it talk with you gently?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Will- he keep -begging you (sing.) that you (sing.) will-set- him -free? Or will- he -ask you (sing.) that you (sing.) will-have-mercy on him?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You asked me, ‘Who are you, who by speaking ignorantly, question what I plan to do?/You have no right to question what I plan to do by speaking ignorantly.’
    It is true that I spoke about things that I did not understand,
    things that are very wonderful/marvelous,
    and therefore I am not able to know them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
