Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 3:6:
- Kupsabiny: “Darkness ought to have closed over that night
so that it shall never appear as a day in the year,
and not be counted among the days that a month has.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “May that night be swallowed up by exceeding darkness.
May it not be counted with the days of the year.
May it not even be included in any month.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “That night of my birth would have-been very -dark, and it would no longer have-been included in the calendar.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I wish that the night when I was conceived would be erased from the calendar,
with the result that it would never again appear as one night in any month,
and that it would not be included in any calendar.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
