Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 9:20:
- Kupsabiny: “Even if I have no mistake, my words condemn me.
If I pour out a word it is like I have made a mistake.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Even if I have no guilt, my very own mouth will judge me guilty.
Even if I am blameless, it will say that I am guilty.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Even if I am innocent, I am still judged/condemned to be punished because of what I say to defend myself.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished ;
even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
