Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 10:8:
- Kupsabiny: “You created me just/only with your hands.
But then, why have you turned against me and destroyed me?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Your hands created me and shaped me.
Now, with those same hands, will you destroy me? ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘ ‘You (sing.) (were) the (one-who) formed and made me, and now you (sing.) will-destroy me?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “What there is to know about God is greater than the distance from earth to heaven;
so there is no way that you can understand it all.
It is greater than the distance from here to the place of the dead;
so it is impossible for you to know it all.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
