Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 5:5:
- Kupsabiny: “Hungry people eat the food of the stupid
and nothing remains even what grew between the thornbushes.
People who are thirsty think of eating the wealth of those people.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The harvest that he harvests will be eaten by the poor [by those who do not see to eat].
Even [what] sprouts among thorns will be gathered and taken away.
Thirsty ones will desire his wealth and property.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “His produce, as-well-as the fruits of his plants that grow in the thorny bushes, are-taken by hungry people. And his wealth is-taken by the people who are-thirsty for possessions.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
