Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 21:26:
- Kupsabiny: “In spite of that, surely death is death!
They also die, are buried and worms crawl all over them.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Both of them are buried together in the earth,
and they are covered with worms.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But both alike they will-be-buried in the ground and will-be-eaten by worms.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But both rich and poor people die and are buried,
and maggots eat their bodies.
Everyone dies, so it is clear that dying is not always the punishment for being wicked.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
