Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 4:16:
- Kupsabiny: “That thing came to stand still in front of me.
I stared at it, but I did not know what it was!
I saw something in front of me,
and then a voice whispered,” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “It stopped,
but I was not able to recognize what it was,
a shape stood up before my eyes.
There wasn’t any sound, then I heard a voice,” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “After- it -stopped, I then saw something as-if (it) was-standing, but this (was) not clear to me. Then I heard a soft/low voice that says,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
